Our take (not a Learning Standard rating)
All The Right Type teaches fundamental touch typing skills through structured repetition, but its reliance on drill-and-practice mechanics lacks the dynamic, adaptive scaffolding seen in modern learning science. While the program builds motor memory effectively through isolated finger placement exercises, it struggles to maintain student engagement over time without meaningful varied practice or targeted corrective feedback.
Pros
- Builds automaticity through systematic, repetitive motor skill practice.
- Provides teachers with detailed progress tracking for both speed and accuracy.
- Aligns instructional sequencing with standard keyboarding curriculum.
Cons
- Relies heavily on rote drill-and-practice rather than dynamic, adaptive learning paths.
- Lacks targeted corrective feedback when your child consistently misses specific key reaches.
- Fails to incorporate spaced retrieval practice for previously mastered keys during new lessons.
What Do We Know About All The Right Type?
All The Right Type is a traditional, drill-based keyboarding program that builds basic motor memory but lacks modern adaptive learning features. Your child will spend their time progressing through linear lessons focused on specific finger placements and keystroke combinations. The platform uses basic repetition to build muscle memory, which is a scientifically sound way to establish initial automaticity. However, because the system does not dynamically adjust difficulty based on your child's specific error patterns, they may experience frustration if they struggle with certain key combinations. The interface includes basic games to break up the typing drills, but these act more as extrinsic rewards than integrated learning tools. Since The Learning Standard has not yet formally evaluated this application, we recommend parents monitor their child's posture and technique independently, as the software cannot correct poor physical form. The program is best viewed as a digital worksheet for typing practice rather than a responsive tutor.
How Does All The Right Type Work?
All The Right Type uses a linear, mastery-based progression model heavily rooted in behaviorist drill-and-practice pedagogy. Your child begins with home row finger placement and systematically unlocks new keys through repeated typing exercises. The learning mechanics rely on blocked practice, where students type strings of identical or similar character sequences to build isolated motor memory. After completing a sequence, the program provides immediate knowledge of results, displaying words-per-minute speed and error counts. Teachers or parents can use the management dashboard to restrict access to certain lessons until accuracy thresholds are met, enforcing a rigid mastery learning structure. The platform also includes standardized typing tests and supplementary games designed to reinforce the current lesson's target keys, though the core instructional loop remains focused on repetitive keystroke drills against a static text prompt.
Strengths and tradeoffs of All The Right Type
The biggest strength of All The Right Type is its systematic breakdown of the keyboard for isolated motor practice, while its biggest weakness is the lack of adaptive scaffolding to address individual student error patterns. From a learning science perspective, the program effectively utilizes blocked practice for initial skill acquisition. By isolating specific fingers and key reaches, your child can develop baseline automaticity without cognitive overload. The platform's granular tracking of speed and accuracy also provides clear metrics for goal setting. However, the program fails to implement interleaved practice or spaced repetition effectively. Once a lesson is complete, those specific key combinations are rarely targeted strategically in future review sessions unless the student takes a comprehensive test. Furthermore, the feedback mechanism is strictly summative. When your child makes an error, the system flags the mistake but does not offer corrective feedback or targeted mini-lessons to fix the underlying misconception or motor failure. The lack of dynamic adjustment means students must self-regulate their learning to overcome persistent typing hurdles.
Who Might Benefit From All The Right Type?
Best for elementary and middle school classrooms that need a standardized, linear curriculum for introductory keyboarding instruction. The platform serves well as a supplemental tool for teachers who want basic tracking of words-per-minute and accuracy scores across a large group of students. Because the program lacks adaptive instruction, it is best suited for highly motivated learners who can tolerate repetitive drills, or for structured lab environments where a physical instructor is present to monitor posture, correct finger placement, and provide the personalized feedback that the software lacks.

Frequently Asked Questions About All The Right Type
Is All The Right Type free?
No, the program requires a paid subscription. Pricing is not publicly listed, and schools or parents must contact the vendor directly for a quote based on the number of expected users.
Is All The Right Type good for elementary students?
Yes, the systematic, slow progression is appropriate for beginners. However, younger children may quickly lose interest due to the repetitive nature of the drill-and-practice exercises and the lack of highly engaging, modern gamification mechanics.
What does All The Right Type teach?
The program teaches touch typing, focusing on correct finger placement, keystroke reaches, typing speed measured in words per minute, and typing accuracy. It focuses purely on motor skills and does not teach word processing or digital citizenship.
How does All The Right Type compare to Typing Club?
While both teach keyboarding, Typing Club offers a more modern interface with adaptive learning paths that adjust directly to student errors. All The Right Type relies on a more traditional, linear progression of isolated typing drills without dynamic adjustment.
