Star Speller
Short, friendly words in big letters. Type each word to win a star — one minute per round.
A simple weekly routine
- Two short game sessions a day, five minutes each — never longer than attention lasts.
- Fingers on F and J with the little bumps; both thumbs share the space bar.
- Cover the hands with a sheet of paper once letters are familiar, to stop looking down.
- Celebrate accuracy, not speed. Fast wrong keys are a habit that takes months to undo.
When letters feel easy, move up to touch typing practice or a short beginner typing test.
Frequently asked questions
What age should kids start typing practice?
Around six or seven, once hands are big enough to rest on the home row. Before that, short letter-finding games are more useful than formal lessons.
How long should a child practise for?
Five to ten minutes a day. Short sessions keep it a game rather than homework, and muscle memory forms between sessions anyway.
Is it safe and free?
Yes. There is no account, no chat and no personal data collected — scores are stored only in the browser on your own device.
Should kids learn touch typing or hunt and peck?
Touch typing, from the start. Hunt-and-peck habits cap speed near 35 WPM and are much harder to unlearn later.
