a to z
Alphabet typing test
Type a to z as fast as you can. The clock starts at a and stops at z. Space starts again.
You need a real keyboard for this. It does not work on a phone or tablet without one. Try it on a computer.
Type a to z. A wrong key does not count: the letter waits. Space = start again.

Why type the alphabet?
The alphabet is a quick warm-up that uses every letter key. Your child learns where each letter lives and, with the colors, which finger goes there. Eyes on the screen, not on the hands: a neat run is worth more than a fast one full of mistakes. To measure speed with real sentences, take the typing speed test; to learn every key step by step, play Typcoon.
