We are spending the month of September brushing up on our keyboarding skills 20 minutes each day. I am amazed by how well the 6th graders are progressing through their typing lessons! Keyboarding is such an important skill to be proficient in both for school and future careers.
At school, we use a program called Ultrakey to teach us the correct way to type. It is great for 6th graders to practice their typing at home if possible too (I'm sure they do quite a bit of typing on Facebook and whatever websites they're into these days anyway...I just want them to be typing correctly!!). Below are a few typing games and typing test websites that I have tried out and recommend!
