Third and Fourth Grade

In October, third and fourth graders,discussed the importance of typing skills in our digital world. We used the typing program Type to Learn 4 (TTL4) to view our typing goals and progress. Most students at the third and fourth grade level are currently working towards learning to type around 15 words a minute with 85% accuracy. We also discussed how accuracy and words per minute are terms we use when learning to read well. We are using TTL4 to track our individual progress over the year and to practice typing skills. This program runs differently for each student depending on what goals and needs they need to address to become a fluent typist. We are using specific skill lessons as a whole class in isolation to build the same typing skills across grade levels. See the typing links with in each grade level to practice at home.
