How it works

From login to first lesson in minutes

Normally Kodable Typing needs a 7-day trial that you apply for. For Kodable's first annual Free Typing Week we've turned the paywall off, so the only setup is your class list and grade level.

What students get

Typing lessons your class will actually want to do

Kodable Typing grows with students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Every grade gets its own age-appropriate islands, and content never repeats, so students come back each year to new adventures with the Fuzzes and the Floofs.

Why it sticks

Teachers, parents, and kids agree

★★★★★

The familiar Kodable characters make learning the keyboard genuinely fun. As one of my students put it: 'It's a fun way to learn where the keys are — it's epic!'

Sue
Classroom Teacher
★★★★★

My students could choose from three typing programs we've used this year — almost all picked Kodable. That tells you everything.

Tami
K–8 STEM Teacher
★★★★★

Kodable Typing has been vitally important as our 3rd and 4th graders prep for state exams. They're eager to use the home row and already more confident at the keyboard.

Free Typing Week questions

Do I need to apply for a trial?

No. Outside of Free Typing Week, Kodable Typing requires a 7-day trial that teachers apply for. During the event, every teacher account has full access automatically — nothing to request or approve.

Who can participate?

Any K–5 teacher with a free Kodable account. If you already use Kodable with your class, just log in. If you are new, create a free teacher account and add your students.

What devices does it work on?

Kodable Typing runs in any modern web browser on Chromebooks, laptops, and desktops. It also works on iPads with an attached keyboard. Students need a physical keyboard to practice.

Is there anything to prepare?

No lesson planning required. Kodable Typing automatically assigns the right islands based on your class grade level, and every lesson is self-guided. Just make sure each class has the correct grade level set before you start.

How can I get Kodable Typing all year long?

Student progress from the week is saved to your dashboard. Kodable Typing is included with Premium+ and All Access plans, or through the standard 7-day trial. See plans and pricing for details, or email us at support@kodable.com.
