Read Write & Type - Keyboarding Program

This is a popular keyboarding software for many students. The on-screen keyboard and cartoon hands seems to help students learn the position of keys.

Follow up question...

I am looking for support for my 6-year-old child in these areas:

mastering the rules of phonics
sequencing (she seems to process auditory input out-of-sequence, reads letters out-of-sequence, and even composes math equations out-of-sequence)
identifying all the component sounds in words (unsure about the level of deficit in this area. Seems slight)

I was looking at the Fast for Words and Earobics that you mention in the book. It seems like this Talking Fingers program might address some of the same areas, but I am not sure. What do you think?

Comment by Jennifer on December 6, 2011 at 11:09am: Thank you for posting this. I know I need to get my child keyboarding, but I didn't know where to start except for this website and searched for "keyboarding." Voila! Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom Drs. Eide!
