Typing Pal’s Home Edition was specially developed to make it easy for parents to involve themselves in their child’s learning. Once your child starts Typing Pal’s training program, you will be able to supervise their work, identify areas that need improving, and provide the necessary encouragement.

In order to get an idea of your students’ progress, we suggest evaluating their typing ability at the beginning and at the end of the training program by using Typing Pal’s Initial Test and Final Test.

The difficulty level of the Initial Test is the same as that of the Final Test. Since the two tests are identical, you can compare both sets of results as a way to measure your students’ progress at the end of their Typing Pal training.

It’s no secret. Knowing how to type is an essential skill in today’s world. Your students are pros at tapping away on their smartphones, but are they just as sure-handed on a keyboard? The key to helping them develop their typing technique is regular practice in the classroom.

So how do you keep your students motivated throughout the year? By making learning into a game! We have created a wide variety of free worksheets that are perfect for motivating your students!

Parents are crucial in helping their children persevere and succeed at school. A new feature of Typing Pal — School Edition is a report that allows parents to follow their children’s progress in class more easily.

Dark mode will be offered as of today for Typing Pal’s Home and Personal Editions. (It will be available for the School Edition in the summer of 2020.) Try it out—if you’re not too scared of the dark, that is. 🙂

In order for students to use Typing Pal with an external keyboard, the Smart Punctuation option needs to be deactivated in the tablet’s settings.

For administrators, the start of the school year often involves a delicate operation: large numbers of student accounts must be moved into the right group for their new class. This is usually the job of the account's Super Administrator or the School Administrator, and can be done in different ways.

Once your students have successfully completed all the exercises, you can set them new challenges by raising the group’s accuracy and speed targets.

Bulk editing helps you save time by configuring dozens, even hundreds, of groups or accounts in one go.

Your students can improve their efficiency by using several keyboard shortcuts, thereby allowing their fingers to remain on the keyboard before the activity starts.

Choosing the right font can help your students better distinguish letters and make reading easier. That is why Typing Pal now offers a choice of several fonts in which to display the exercises and practice texts.

Typing speed is measured in words per minute or characters per minute. You can choose either of these units depending on the context, your training program or your personal preference.

Your students’ results are invaluable. However, in some cases, it may be useful to selectively delete them. For example, you may want to delete the results of certain activities you want students to start over or reset the final test so students can retake it in a supervised school environment.
