3rd grade keyboarding

The third grade students have been focusing their efforts after MAP testing on keyboarding. A majority of their curriculum is learning how to type properly, which allows these skills to be transferred to numerous activities in the future. So far the students have mastered the A, J, S, K, spacebar and return keys. They should be able to practice using these keys to type properly at home. Right now we really emphasize using the correct fingers as we know it is easy to use just a couple fingers on each hand since they have not been taught many keys yet. Really focus on them putting their hands on the home row and using the proper hand and fingers for the keys they have learned and will be learning. Thanks.
