A Motivating Keyboard
“This keyboard motivates children to type by increasing the number of correct hits and thus they gat a successful outcome. The lower case keys are immediately recognisable.”
Rose Goddard, SENCO


IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX
"AT LAST! I have found a piece of hardware that ‘does what it says on the box’.

"I purchased 2 BigKeys keyboards for each of our nursery and reception classes. The simple layout and colours has helped the children with their alphabet and number skills, and built their confidence in being able to do things on the computer with ease. I particularly like the large cursor keys. They are excellent!"
ICT Coordinator, Primary School, Co. Durham


IT BUILDS THEIR CONFIDENCE AND KEEPS THEM INDEPENDENT
"Our reception children are very independent. They like to be able to do things for themselves but sometimes they get a little frustrated when it takes time. This is especially true when they are keyboarding, but the BigKeys keyboard really helps.

"When they are searching for letters, a simple “it’s a red one” or “it’s a yellow one” from me helps them locate the key they need quickly and builds their confidence.

"The simple format makes using the computer easy and as a result the children just love it. It has helped them learn to type their names and generally just get used to computing."
Foundation Coordinator, Primary School Hampshire


WE NEEDED BIGGER KEYTOPS
"We bought a BigKeys keyboard because the nursery has a laptop and the laptop keys are too small for the little children to see and press. We just plugged the BigKeys into the laptop and now we have a computer they can use. The children absolutely love it. They are quite able to work on the computer 2 at a time using an egg timer to be fair. I suggested they write their fathers day cards on it. They were so enthusiastic about this, and proud of themselves afterward, that that happy confident feeling has stayed with them."
Pre-School Teacher, Buckinghamshire


A GREAT CONFIDENCE BUILDER
"The BigKeys keyboards with their simple format have helped the children to have the confidence to work with the computer in every subject. They are brilliant!"
Reception Teacher, Primary School, Northumberland
