keyboarding without tears

Keyboarding Without Tears is a K-5 digital typing curriculum designed to build keyboarding skills in young students through a game-based, developmental approach. The program uses a patented row-based, color-coded keyboard to help children learn finger-key associations comfortably and automatically. It teaches keyboarding fluency, finger dexterity, muscle memory, and digital citizenship while connecting to core subjects like ELA, math, and science through cross-curricular activities. The curriculum progresses from basic fine motor skills and mouse use in kindergarten to typing mastery with accuracy and speed by grade 5. It allows independent work with embedded support and includes teacher dashboards for monitoring progress. While the program emphasizes a fun, engaging learning experience, it has limited feedback and customization options for students and teachers. It is offered as an individual license for one year, suitable for classroom or home use. The program supports proper keyboarding technique and prepares students for modern digital success.
