BigKeys LX conforms to the current national curriculum.
The National Curriculum states that “All children from the age of three should begin to show an interest in ICT” and there is nothing quite like a BigKeys LX to enthuse, excite, and motivate young children to have a go on the computer.
Additionally BigKeys LX has the lower case letters that your child is being taught as part of the Foundation Years curriculum, so they will be able to recognise them and learn them and with a little prompting from you learn even more!

BigKeys LX helps your child learn what he or she will be assessed on when they go to school.
BigKeys LX has clear, large, easily recognisable numbers from 1 to 9 along the top row. They appear sequentially from left to right so when your child presses them one after the other he or she will see them appear on the screen in order. If they repeat the numbers as they go their confidence and skills will increase.
BigKeys LX also has all the alphabet letters in large, lower case format, for your child to have fun locating, pressing and watching appear on the screen. You can ask them to find letters in their name and to help them find them faster. You can narrow the search for them by telling them what colour key it is on. Their confidence will soar.

BigKeys is an ideal first keyboard to progress to a standard keyboard from.
Children using BigKeys LX in a QWERTY layout do not have a problem moving onto a standard keyboard when they are ready.

BigKeys LX has had non essential keys removed.
BigKeys LX has just 60 keys. Non essential keys have been removed so the computer will not crash because of the keyboard. This will mean that your child will not get frustrated. They will view their computer time as fun and exciting and will be able to play games, learn their letters and learn their numbers.
