My husband and I use the Dvorak keyboard layout. I have heard that it is much easier to teach children how to type with Dvorak as well since all of the vowels are on the home row and other ergonomic factors. With the dvorak layout, they can make hundreds of words just on the homerow. I want to teach my 5-year-old formal typing lessons, but the barrier I'm coming up with is that, first, all of the Dvorak typing tutorials are more geared for adults, although I'm starting to think, "who cares?". On the flip side, there are so many cute typing programs out there with cartoons that I know my son would enjoy a lot more. The only problem is, they were designed for QWERTY and show a lot of pictures of that layout during the tutorials.
Does anybody have a good typing program for kids that doesn't show a picture of the QWERTY layout?
Thank you in advance.
