Schoolhouse Review: Keyboarding For The Christian School

Do you remember taking typing in high school?  I do!  It was one of my favorite classes actually and I consider myself quite efficient at it.  My husband and kids are amazed by my typing skills so they were all for taking this keyboarding course.  My children have a little experience with proper hand position and technique since most of our writing papers are typed.  

In today's world, you won't see many or any typewriters in use but keyboards are everywhere.  Keyboarding for the Christian School is actually what I remember learning in my typing class - same order even but with they key element that sold us immediately.  The passages your students practice are from the Word of God.  So not only are your children learning the correct finger placement and techniques but they are doing it by typing God's Word therefore aiding in hiding it in their heart!  This course is recommended for grades 6th-12th.  We also used it with our 4th grader with no problems.

Drawing from fourteen years experience, author Leanne Beitel guides teens in touch typing and basic word processing skills specifically for Christian schools and/or home schools. Keyboarding for the Christian School gives clear directions and brief assignments with the following advantages:
