FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CodeHS typing and keyboarding curriculum?

CodeHS Typing — also called Typing by CodeHop — is a self-paced, standards-aligned keyboarding curriculum. It teaches proper typing technique through interactive activities, instructional videos, and hand-placement diagrams, giving students real-time feedback as they build the speed and accuracy that make coding and everyday digital work easier.

Does CodeHS have typing practice for K-12 and elementary students?

Yes. CodeHS Typing offers differentiated courses designed for every learner — from students pressing their first keys to those writing full-length passages. Because the curriculum is self-paced, students advance individually, unlocking new challenges as they build speed and accuracy, so the same course meets beginners and more advanced typists where they are.

How does CodeHS track students' typing progress?

CodeHS Typing gives teachers a place to track each student's words per minute and accuracy. Teachers can set custom typing goals, monitor progress, and print reports to share improvement — while students get instant, real-time feedback on their speed and accuracy after every activity.

Do students need a separate login or tool for typing practice?

No. Typing by CodeHop is fully integrated into CodeHS — there's no separate login, download, or tool to set up. Students practice keyboarding in the same place they already learn, and teachers manage typing goals, progress, and reports from CodeHS alongside the rest of their curriculum.

How does CodeHS teach proper typing technique?

CodeHS Typing teaches correct finger positioning and technique using engaging visuals, hand-placement diagrams, and step-by-step keyboarding instruction. Videos and interactive activities guide students through proper form, and because lessons are self-paced, students can practice each skill until it feels natural before moving on to the next challenge.

How does CodeHS keep students motivated while learning to type?

CodeHS Typing keeps students motivated with gamified learning. Students collect badges as they hit typing goals, turning repetitive practice into play. Real-time feedback and celebrations along the way make progress feel fun and rewarding, so students stay engaged while steadily building speed and accuracy.

Is the CodeHS keyboarding curriculum standards-aligned?

Yes. Typing by CodeHop is a standards-aligned keyboarding curriculum, so its lessons and structured progression map to recognized expectations for typing and keyboarding instruction. That means you can confidently use it to help meet your school or district's keyboarding requirements as part of your CodeHop curriculum.

How much does CodeHS Typing cost and how do I get it?

Typing is an add-on to CodeHop, so it isn't included by default. To bring it to your classroom or district — and get current pricing for the upcoming school year — request a quote at codehs.com/quote/typing or speak with the CodeHS team, who can tailor a plan to your needs.
