Mavis Beacon Keyboarding Kidz

Touch typing is one of those lifelong skills that pays off in every subject, and Mavis Beacon Keyboarding Kidz offers a kid-friendly path to get there. This version of the classic Mavis Beacon software includes step-by-step lessons, drills, and arcade-style games designed specifically for children, helping them learn proper finger placement and build speed gradually. Developed by Broderbund with the same core pedagogy that made the original popular, it adds brighter graphics and age-appropriate themes without sacrificing structure. Parents like that the program tracks progress, suggests practice areas, and doesn’t require ongoing subscriptions after purchase. The main investment is the upfront software cost and making time for regular practice; without consistency, kids won’t see much improvement. To maximize value, schedule short daily sessions and model good posture and technique yourself.
