Check out the following keyboarding sites (and don't forget to practice over the summer:)
Dance Mat Typing (BBC) - fun musical introduction to touch typing for kids seven and older. Practice is divided into twelve lessons, and led by animated characters. Try the full screen version (once you choose a lesson this link is at the bottom of page.) Parents and teachers wanting to know what keys are taught in each level can click over to About this Site. For additional offline practice, print out the Worksheets (look for them in the left-hand menu.)
Free Typing Game(s) - six arcade-style typing games, thirty keyboarding lessons and thirty timed typing tests (with printable certificates.) The lessons feature a keyboard that is color-coded to each our of ten fingers, and each lesson introduces two keys, and then reviews all the keys from previous lessons. If you know how to keyboard, the two letter practice ("ttu uuu ttt utt") may be more difficult than typing real words.
Good Typing - there are lessons you can try without filling out the free registration, but you need to register with your email address to gain access to all the features here at Good Typing. One is the ability to choose your country-specific keyboard layout. The clean, uncluttered interface gets a thumbs up, also it gave me recommendations as to whether I should repeat a lesson (based on my accuracy) but still gave me the option to move ahead. Good Typing has no kid-specific features, but its straightforward approach should work with all ages.
Learn to Type: Kids - free accounts to students, as well as a free teacher console to keep track of student progress. Pages a bit busy, making it difficult to navigate from one page to the next. Don't miss the "Skip to Next Level" link just below the typing box. They do have games section for breaks between lessons, but none involve typing.
Power Typing -lacks audio tutor and cutesy characters, but includes lots of keyboard practice set to radio music (to encourage rhythmical typing). Select WPM song which reflects your typing speed and type a lesson to the song's rhythm." In addition to the Qwerty and Dvorak keyboarding lessons, there are five typing games that make typing practice fun.
