Study Proves Learning Keyboarding Is the Single Most Important Computer Skill for Children, EReflect Announces
New York City, NY (PRWEB) October 12, 2013 -- The parent company of Ultimate Typing™ software, eReflect, announced in a brief statement today that keyboarding is a crucial skill for 21st century children as it forms the basis for a child’s subsequent computer/technology literacy, as well as encouraging and facilitating other skills. According to a report by the Utah State Office of Education which eReflect mentioned in their statement, children tend to have shorter memory and attention spans in general. When their poor typing skills make them self-conscious, they’re more likely to forget their stream of thought, which interferes with touch typing. This can be frustrating for young children who cannot properly express themselves through their writing due to their insufficient typing skills.
eReflect confirmed that this is often the case with younger children with poor typing skills and suggested that because today's typing programs are versatile and customizable, they can be used by young children quite easily. Ultimate Typing™ is such a software program, eReflect mentioned, as it has been designed along the principle of adjustability so that no matter the user’s typing needs, learning style, age, or experience, they can easily use the software to improve their typing performance.
eReflect said that teaching typing skills to young children becomes very easy with a typing software program since typing games, especially ones designed specifically for children, allow them to learn through play and fun. Ultimate Typing™ software’s keyboarding training includes a variety of typing games that can keep children motivated to learn typing while providing fun time on the computer.
The benefits of keyboarding training are virtually unlimited and teaching young children how to touch type will generate numerous other benefits for them. With efficient typing speed and accuracy children can more easily focus on education and it will be easier for them to adjust to the increasingly technology-based education and lifestyle of the 21st century, eReflect concluded.
