Keyboarding:

We moved to the on-line typing program.  Report cards for keyboarding are used daily.  On task, no peeking, posture are taken in account.  Students are required to get 15 words per minute, at 94% or better accuracy.  Students may now move at their own rate.

 www.typeonline.co.uk is the web site for keyboarding to practice at home.  Children may access this at home for free. Two other web sites to try would be www.freetypinggame.net and www.typingtest.com.
