A safe way to start
No sign-up is needed to take a test, so kids can start typing right away. Passages use short, simple sentences and common words — no tricky vocabulary or long paragraphs — so the focus stays on finding the keys and building steady accuracy rather than racing the clock.
Typing speed by age (rough guide)
| Age group | Typical WPM range |
|---|---|
| Ages 7–10 | 10–20 WPM |
| Ages 11–13 | 15–30 WPM |
| Ages 14–17 | 25–45 WPM |
These are rough guides, not targets — every child progresses at a different pace, and accuracy matters more than speed at this stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
