How to do Typing Time:
You can only do a lesson once for it to count (redo a lesson if you want, but it won't count toward your 60 min.)
Make sure you are trying your best - it only counts time if you are actually typing!
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS - USE THE CORRECT FINGERS FOR EACH KEY - IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL GET BETTER
The Class Scoreboard sometimes does not update right away
Sorry, you can't get ahead on Typing Time - 60 min. maximum per week.
Due every week: Typing Time 60 minutes - TYPING.COM
No makeup Typing Time currently. FINISH THE PROGRAM to earn missing time.
Ways to get 60 minutes per week:
Do 20 minutes at a time (3 x 20 = 60 min.)
Do 30 minutes at a time (2 x 30 = 60 min.)
Check the Scoreboard each day
Mr. V grades Typing Time on Sunday mornings.
Why do we type on Monday?

You will get a good start for the week - learn how to not procrastinate and get ahead on your work - finish early!
After doing 20+ minutes on Monday, finish the rest at home.
