Frank J. Dutko Keyboarding is a skill for everybody these days. Students need to record their thoughts, write class papers and send e-mail messages to friends across town or across the world.
Third grade is a good time to start teaching keyboarding skills.
Children have the coordination necessary by then. Plus, they often have the desire to learn. With encouragement from you and some self-motivation from your child, this may be enough to get started. Some schools include keyboarding in their computer curriculum. If this occurs, your child may be regularly practicing keyboarding drills.
