Testimionals from iType Schools

"In 2019, Allison started a conversation with us about what would be required in a primary years typing program, how it could involve more than just ‘typing’ and what may keep the students, as young as 5 years of age, engaged and challenged.

For our youngest students, the program has added a ‘fine motor’ dimension along with an opportunity to consolidate their letter knowledge. Those Preparatory Year students who started iType in 2021 have developed tremendously with many, to this point in time, now seen as ‘touch typers’. Our teachers and Lower Primary students have been giving Allison feedback on what worked and some suggestions on how to improve the program.

The iType program has proven to be engaging across the year levels as we have now introduced all Year levels to the Program. Students look forward to their lessons with iType and have given positive feedback on Miss Lucy’s advice. We now have students ‘touch typing’ in all year levels with many finding this skill advantageous within the School’s BYOD program.”

Thanks Allison for the opportunity that iType presents to our students at ACCM. Year 6 have been progressing well with iType, with numbers of students having noticeable improvements since beginning their iType journey both in speed and accuracy. Our class completes a minimum of 3 x 15 mins on iType each week. The drills and games associated with iType help to keep them engaged and once they got over the bad habits they had developed, emphasising the placement of fingers on home keys has really helped a significant number of students begin to soar with their results.
