and even want to stop, parents or teachers always feel nothing else bother
them more than when children face the keyboard and have absolutely no idea
where the keys are or how they go about typing. They just "play" with the
keyboard. This is a waste of time for them and, worse, children get into
the bad habit of typing with two fingers. So parents or teachers have to
face how to solve this problem. |

to learn a thing or not largely depends on whether they are attracted by
it. Based on this, the typing tutor must be easy-to-use, fun colorful and
appealing to children. Once children love and develop interest in it, they
will learn to type on their own initiative. Generally, children naturally
like to play games, because when playing games, they are always attracted
by the colorful interface and pretty music in the games, and above all,
