What Tanepo is
Tanepo is a free typing practice site for kids that focuses on full sentences. Instead of drilling single keys, children type real sentences, hear each word read aloud, and follow a friendly finger guide — a calm, ad-free way to build typing speed and accuracy.
Most typing sites drill single letters. Tanepo has kids practise typing sentences: real, complete sentences, so children build speed, accuracy and rhythm on words they'll actually write. It's free, works in any browser, and there's no sign-up and no ads.
How it works
- 1
Pick something to type
A lesson, a picture book, or a timed challenge. Every one of them is a real sentence, not a drill of single keys.
- 2
Type it, and hear it
Each word is read aloud as it is finished, and the sentence is read again at the end — in English, then in your language.
- 3
Watch the rating climb
Every timed challenge scores from 0.00 to 18.99 with a class from C to SA, averaged over the last 30 runs, so one bad day cannot undo weeks of practice.
Three ways to practise
Pick a lesson
The sentence lessons are complete, real sentences, so kids learn real writing, not isolated keys.
Start typing →Stories
Little picture books you type your way through — animals, the sky, science, history and more. One sentence per page: type it, learn something new, and the page turns.
Read and type →Timed challenge
For grown-ups: set the time and the sentences, then hand the device to your child and press Start. They'll type as many sentences as they can before time runs out.
Start →What the lessons cover
133 lessons: single keys, then whole words, then sentences that grow from a single line to a full paragraph. The shortest asks for 15 characters and the longest for 285.
See all the lessons →Where your fingers go, shown on screen
Beginners lose a lot of time hunting for keys. Tanepo highlights the next key and the finger that presses it on a pair of hands, so a child types with the right finger before memorising anything — and never settles into hunting with one index finger. Home row is the same whatever you go on to type, so the habit carries. Both US and JIS keyboards are supported.
How the typing rating works
Your rating runs from 0.00 to 18.99, and each stretch of it has a class: C, CC, B, BB, A, AA, SA. It is not your last score — it is a weighted average of your last 30 challenges, so it climbs as you practise and one bad day barely moves it. Speed counts against a 60 WPM ceiling, accuracy multiplies it (typing fast and wrong is not a higher rating), and longer challenges count for more than 30-second ones.
For grown-ups
A free typing site for children aged 6 to 12. There is no account to make and no advertising, and nothing here asks your child for anything about themselves. This page says exactly what we do and do not collect. The short version: nothing here asks for your child's name or contact details, and nothing we keep is linked to who your child is.
