Study Skills Expert recommends Typing

I believe that touch typing is an essential skill for todays students. Not only does it save students time, but many of our external examinations are moving to an online model. I would highly recommend that all students learn to touch type preferably before they start high school, or at least by the time they reach Year 10.

Occupational Therapist highly recommends Typequick for Students

Learning to touch type is an important skill for children to master in the early years of primary school to help them fulfill their role as a student. From an occupational therapy perspective, Typequick For Students provides students with opportunities to improve their finger isolation, proprioceptive feedback from their muscles, bilateral co-ordination and self-monitoring skills. These are foundational areas which primary school students should master and feel confident in. Kewala, the character in Typequick for Students, is incredibly engaging and has an interactive map for students to easily monitor their progress. I would highly recommend Typequick for Students if you are looking for a fun, engaging and accessible typing program for all primary aged school students!

Pennant Hills Public School - Year 6 student achieves 103

words per minute with Typequick


Amins Journey
At the beginning of Year 3, I didnt really like Typequick, but then I saw that I was really behind in the lessons and that everyone was in front of me. Of course, I didnt like to be behind, so after that I went to the computer lab every day to practise my typing. Then, in Years 4 and 5, I had competition. Other people also wanted to go in and type and soon I had about five other people trying to win the trophy just like me. However, of course, none of us was able to win the trophy at that time. That was when I had my eyes set on that trophy. I set it as my goal throughout Year 6 and about twice a week Id go in and type. Soon I had seen the big improvement that I had made 54 WPM! I had reached a speed of 103 WPM. I was very proud of myself.

Online Subscriptions

Typequick is now available as an online course via the Internet allowing educational institutions to use the software without any installation at all. Students just need to be able to access the Typequick courseware site and use a logon provided by the teacher. Teachers use the same website for administration, creating student logins (an import mechanism is available for batches of students), looking at class results, etc. Students can also use the courseware with their logins at home or anywhere they have access to an Internet capable computer.

Concurrent User Licence for LAN or WAN

Typequick's concurrent licensing solutions are designed to offer multiple students access to the program. In-built reporting and assessment tools enable an accurate snapshot of the student's progress at any time.

Every student that can access the fileserver where Typequick is installed can use the Typequick course. This licence limits the number of concurrent users (the number of students using the course at any one time).

Example: Sample State High school installed a 10 concurrent user network licence on their school network. This means a group of 10 students can use the course at 10am and another group of 10 students can use the course at 11am. The software will store data for any number of students.
