Flex Typing
Why Choose Typing Coaching?
This program teaches ‘touch-typing‘, i.e., typing without needing to look at the keys, and using muscle memory instead to locate the keys! With this method of typing, students not only become more accurate but increase their speed, which of course has the advantage of making your child more efficient with their digital work. When children are young is the best time to learn. They have the time, the concentration and enjoy the novelty of being at a computer. Once they have the skill, like riding a bike, the muscle memory stays with them for life allowing them to reap the benefits for many years to come. Another advantage of touch-typing is that since students have mastered typing they can use more cognitive resources to focus on the content.
Program Format
Crania’s Flex Typing program is offered year-round in a small group setting, with each student progressing at their own pace. Within a nurturing and encouraging environment, students engage in lessons, activities and spelling practice. The distribution of these activities is individualized to each student’s needs. Lessons are in 55-min slots. Parents choose what day and time they would like their child to attend during our operating hours, five days a week, commencing on the half-hour. All lessons must be scheduled in advanced, but days and times can be changed from week to week. Work to practice with at home is always available and recommended. Students complete regular assessments and frequent feedback is provided to parents.
