Questions

Are these really free?

Yes. Every typing worksheet and the typing book on these pages are free to download and print, with no account and no email.

Which ages are they for?

There are two bands. Ages 7+ learn where the fingers go: the home row, every letter, short words and a first sentence. Ages 9+ build a steady rhythm, longer passages, numbers, symbols and shortcuts. Typing is its own pack, banded by age, so it does not belong to a school grade.

Can you learn typing from paper sheets?

The sheets are practice for the keys and the fingers: which finger reaches for which key, and copying lines carefully. They are a good companion to time on a real keyboard, which helps, but they do not replace it.

What are Sets A, B and C?

A set is a different sheet on the same lesson. Set A is written for the lesson. Where a lesson has Sets B and C, they give more practice. Every set can be downloaded with its answer key on the last page.

Is it about speed?

Right first, fast later. The lessons ask for careful, accurate keys and a steady rhythm before speed.

Want it taught aloud?

Tutorpip's typing lessons show a keyboard guide on screen, and a few lessons are free to try. These printable sheets are free either way.
