Best answer
Mine are picking it up while doing their homework in Google Classroom. As they’re typing, I’ll show them how to maneuver and do spell check as they go. It seems almost second nature.

I think she meant typing in general. Or learning how to use a keyboard to write.

My kids use typing. com during elementary school starting at 1st grade. They only do it a bit at that age though to introduce it during computer time.

It’s called typing, but of course it’s for computers. My daughter started in 3rd grade. Essays will need to be typed.
