EYFS Typing

(0)
Let’s get Nursery and Reception typing! Whilst the youngest children are super tech savvy these days, we sometimes forget to teach the basics. This activity introduces EYFS children to typing words on a computer. For this activity we recommend running carpet sessions with small groups of children. Ideally, have this PowerPoint displayed on your interactive white board and use a wireless keyboard that can be passed around the group to type onto. (For your keyboard, we highly recommend buying some lower case letter stickers to stick on the keys!) Work through each slide following the instructions at the beginning of each section. The sections are as follows: Copying letters Initial sounds - type the letter of the initial sound for the pictured animal CVC - type out the cvc words Copy the whole word Type your name Type the alphabet

Each set of questions is differentiated 3 ways with difficulty progression within. Easily printable for worksheets and answers are printable too. Even better completed on the computer by the children as it AUTOMARKS the work giving instant feedback and opportunity to correct. Infinite re-usability due to being able to random generate new questions with the click of a button. For the best description of this resources, please watch the associated YouTube video. My name is Martin Goulden and I’ve worked in Primary Schools for over 10 years, first as a TA and now as an independent Computing specialist. As my wife is a teacher, I know the pressure that teachers are under in order to provide individualised learning, assessment and feedback for each child. I once saw a teacher spend hours and hours preparing and then marking a handful of individualised arithmetic questions only to find that, as usual, some children had completely missed the mark. I had to help, not just the teachers to save the hours of prep and marking time but the children too, to give them instant feedback and satisfaction during their arithmetic sessions. It has taken me around 100 hours to create this resource in the hope that it will collectively save teachers thousands of hours and provide children with a great platform to learn from.
