STUDENT LEARNING FEATURES
Students can be talented, well taught, and otherwise well prepared. But if they can’t translate their thoughts to a computer, they will be at a massive disadvantage on their test. Typesy is designed for districts that need to prepare for computer-based state tests. Typesy uses a structured curriculum and the science of muscle memory to make students lightning-fast and ultra-efficient with the computer. So your students can focus on the perfect answer rather than fumbling around on the computer.
Typesy’s exercises are scientifically designed to train muscle memory through a series of structured repetitions.
Typesy is the only program to use immersive 3D animated stories to keep your students engaged and loving the process.
Typesy is the only program to teach correct keyboarding technique through powerful video technology. Students can access thousands of in-depth video lessons.

At its heart, typing is words and language. Therefore, improving literacy skills as students learn to type and vice versa makes perfect sense. That’s why Typesy includes a host of powerful learning tools to increase vocabulary, spelling, and literacy.
Typesy includes hundreds of standards-aligned word lists for all grade levels- all compiled by curriculum experts. Students can practice typing with the lists or use Typesy’s rich word learning tools.
In just a few clicks, a teacher can create and share a word list for students to study. Typesy automatically adds a wealth of learning information for any English word - or the teacher can enter custom definitions.
Typesy’s flash cards are a great way to supplement learning. Share any word list with a class (built-in or custom) and watch the students master their new vocabulary in no time. Typesy’s flash cards are a joy to use and include powerful features such as keyboard shortcuts, auto or manual advance, and personalization options.
Typesy includes a 146,902-word built-in dictionary, so any word you need to add to a list is right there at your fingertips. Simply enter any word list, and all of Typesy's features will work automatically. Students can even look up unfamiliar words in-line as they do typing drills.
With Typesy, students can practice assigned spelling words as they boost their typing speed.
