Structured typing tutorial for children. This is the latest touch typing program from the author and designer of the Best Seller `Magictype`. Using this software it is possible to learn to touch type in just one week - or even less! It is essential to cover the keyboard when using the program to gain accurate progress rapidly.

The course has three stages based on the national curriculum. The words used within the course are those with the highest frequency of usage as well as all the words in the NLS at each Key Stage. Each lesson has a section with words using phonic letter patterns. There are three fun games, using data from the last completed lesson, which are a vehicle for some painless practice sessions! Information on progress can be stored either on individual hard drives or on a network.
