Typing Away in 4th Grade

After fixing a few issues with our new typing program, Type to Learn 4, 4th grade students are getting back on schedule with their lessons. Each class will visit the computer lab twice a week for 20 minutes to practice their typing skills. Students progress through sequential lessons, learning two to three keystrokes at a time. Lessons begin with the home row ASDF JKL;. Keyboard covers are used to encourage tough typing and assessments are built into the program. The goal for the year is to have students leaving 4th grade typing 15 WPM with at least 90% accuracy.

You can learn more about the program they are using from the Type to Learn 4: Agents of Information website.
