age appropriate keyboarding skills

» LaLuna_ - when is a child ready to keyboard?

hi folks!

been all over the net looking for this info...since computing skills have become such a large part of the curriculum in the schools i work at, we're trying to figure out WHEN is the right time to introduce keyboarding skills such as touch typing, and how to determine when a child is delayed. any and all info would be greatly appreciated!

» toetype - keyboarding information

I began typing in 4th grade, but I think you could start sooner. I think the student should know the alphabet and have some literacy skills.

Here are some good links that may help:
