The 3rd grade students have finished keyboarding. They have learned all of the keys on the keyboard and have completed all 4 of their Words Per Minute (WPM) typing tests. The students will be bringing home a HomeRow Champ certificate attached to a Handwriting Rate worksheet. On the certificate, in the upper right hand corner, is each students best WPM score from the 4 typing tests they took throughout the school year. The Handwriting Rate worksheet is something the students took at the beginning of the school year, with the goal of being able to type as many WPM as they could write before the end of the school year. Most students equalled or surpassed this goal.
Another goal was for the students to be able to type 3+ WPM by the end of the school year as the 4th grade typing goal is 5 WPM and the 5th grade typing goal is 10 WPM.
If you feel your student(s) needs more practice to help them become better typers before the start of the 2011-2012 school year follow this web site and the online games listed at the bottom for more practice.
