>   * Build language, vocabulary, and communication skills
>   * Develop cooperative learning skills

> Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing! for Kids presents typing basics,
> including fingering. Because this program was designed for young
> students with small hands and fingers, the keys taught are limited
> to the letters, the colon, the semicolon, and the space bar. The
> shift key is optional. The program introduces students to the Home
> Row, Top Row, and Bottom Row keys. The Getting Started section
> offers suggestions and strategies for using computers, the Mavis
> Beacon Teaches Typing! for Kids program, and the Activities included
> in this guide.
