Type Time

Children develop their keyboarding skills through three
different challenge levels!
Picture Mode
Numbers, letters and
pictures appear on
screen, rewarding
children for tapping
keys on the keyboard.
Letter Mode
Children can type
anything they want,
using letters and
the period, question
mark, space bar and
backspace keys.
Word Play
Children look for
specific letters in
order to build words.
Core Curriculum
Letter names and sounds, word building, word-
object correlation
Computer Literacy
QWERTY keyboarding skills, screen navigation
Other Ways to Play
In Picture mode, help your child make the
connection between the keys and the
corresponding letters and pictures. For example,
when a bear appears on screen, say, "Bear. What
letter does bear start with?" Then show your
child the key with the letter B.
In Letter mode, help your child type his name,
address and phone number. Encourage him to
spell other simple words by identifying the right
keys and pressing them in order.
