EnglishType Junior is a typing software, similar to TTRS but designed for younger users. It consists of lessons and games with fun animations and challenges.
EnglishType Junior can be accessed from a dedicated computer in the library; it is not available from home. EnglishType Junior can be made available to children on request who visit the library with their teacher, parent or guardian.
Children can set up their own user profile and record their progress so that they can return to the same lesson and continue their work.
