Our testers loved the customisation options (stickers, awards, games and outfits for the animated Professor can be "earned" by completing lessons) and the practice diary, which can be used to set personal goals and track progress. The interface is colourful and simple to navigate, and the animated-key Professor character's calm British voice offers instructions, corrections and tips to keep learners on the right track.

This game is addictive to kids, but who cares? They’re learning a valuable skill. The more accurately and efficiently a player types, the faster his car moves along the track.
Kids practice spelling by accurately typing a sentence generated by the game. Burning Fingers pits players against each other in a wild, fast-paced car race. Mastering typing on a tablet or smartphone is probably a smart way for kids to learn how to type. (iOS free Android free)Īnecdotal evidence suggests that children with ADHD and learning disabilities are able to concentrate longer when playing a game or learning a skill on mobile devices. The game is a fun way to use a normal-sized keyboard to practice skills acquired in Typing Instructor for Kids (above). Drop engages kids with ADHD and LD with the incentive of beating their own high score or the high scores of fellow students or friends. Hitting the wrong key causes the letters to speed up, and if you don’t touch the correct key quickly enough, it’s game over. As new words appear, the time to type the required letters shortens, which challenges players to type more quickly. Complete with entertaining music and a mind-boggling visual presentation that holds the focus of children with ADHD, Drop requires players to copy a spiraling procession of letters with speed and accuracy. This typing game pushes players’ skills to the limit. The software has a full menu of mini-games and exercises to keep students engaged in the learning process, so children with ADHD won’t get bored. It uses segmented lessons that gradually introduce more of the keyboard to your child and teaches proper typing posture and finger position. Typing Instructor for Kids is a great starter program to teach proper typing technique. Rather than spend hours helping your child with ADHD to learn to write faster or neater, teach him typing skills instead.
