Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I know I have seen free online typing lessons (or practice, or games) over the years, but now cannot find a single thing.

Does anyone have any good resources for this?
We had started with Typing Tutor, but it doesn't seem to provide enough practice.

Both kids started this past winter, when they were 5 and 8. The now 9 year old does much better than the 6 year old.
