About
"...FunTyper – touch typing made fun..."
FunTyper is a proven and effective game-based touch typing system that consists of interactive games, leader boards, competitions and lots more.
Founded in 1996, by Sheineez and Philip Barber, FunTyper Ltd and parent company, FunTech Development Ltd, have built reputations for the unique use of the latest technologies and innovative teaching techniques with the latter being filmed for the BBC’s popular Tomorrow’s World series and Channel 4’s News at 7.
FunTyper will inspire your child to master touch typing, as they will perceive FunTyper as ‘Playing’ games rather than ‘Practising’ their touch typing.
Built on structured principles, using a multi-sensory approach, your child will:-
- earn the correct touch-typing methodology
- develop muscle memory
- develop a high level of accuracy
With respect to speed of typing – if the 3 foundations of methodology, muscle memory and accuracy are in place, this will be a natural by-product.
FunTyper works for children of all abilities and educational needs. Children with Special Educational Needs may take a little longer to reach their goals. Each level is fully consolidated before your child progresses, allowing them to not only build confidence but enjoy the excitement that the games generate.
FunTyper is a superbly flexible system that fits in with you and your child's schedule. There are no hard and fast rules of how often you need to practice: this can be as little as 20 minutes per week up to as much time as you have. The key to success is consistency - so play at least once a week, even if it is just for 10 minutes. Over the years, when our students have followed this rule, the results have been outstanding.
Our on-going commitment to our FunTypers is to ensure FunTyper remains fresh, engaging and fun.
