This is a typing forum for teachers and parents whereby we learn from each other what works and what doesn't when teaching proper touch typing and word processing using Office XP.  This is for Christian schools and homeschoolers.

This is the companion website for the textbook, Keyboarding for the Christian School.  Designed for students in middle school through high school with a Biblical perspective; lessons include typing drills, timings, letters, envelopes, APA and MLA reports (the ONLY book that features both), centering, and even proofreader's marks.  The textbook is brief--only 78 pages--to be used in conjunction with other curriculum or as a refresher and is available for purchase through iUniverse, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc. 
 
AVAILABLE NOW THROUGH THIS WEBSITE ONLY...
A printable e-book directly from the author is available for purchase through e-junkie (using PayPal or your credit card).  The e-book is about 2.3 MB in size.

Please sign my Guestbook and visit my Blog.  If you have questions regarding the lessons or would like help in planning a typing course, etc., then send your email to l.beitel@christiankeyboarding.com or contribute to the blog.

Read my review from Kate O'Mara at the Eclectic Homeschool Association  where the "students who recently began using Keyboarding for the Christian School reported that they enjoyed the first several lessons and were anxious to continue." 

Phyllis Wheeler, "The Computer Lady" wrote a review on homeschoolblogger.

As a guest author for Lorraine Curry's book, Easy Homeschooling Curriculum, chapter 22 gives additional tips in teaching keyboarding.
