Keyboarding Skills

I've been trying hard all year to help my students become more proficient at their keyboarding skills. We work hard in class to improve our speed and accuracy, but it's also helpful if students can practice at home. 

Here are some websites that you can use to help your students (or own children) practice their keyboarding skills:

Online Lessons:

•Dance Mat Typing 

•Learn to Type {Big Brown Bear} 

•Keyboarding Tutor 

Practice Games:

•Typing Test 

•Popcorn Typer 

•Alpha Quick 

•Keyboarding Games 

Speed Tests:

•Typing Test 

•Power Typing 

If you want a paper note to print out to send home with parents, you can use this one I typed up. It includes the Utah benchmark goals (per grade level) for words per minute, to help give parents an idea of where their children should be.
