If you are 3rd-6th grade student, continue your TYPING practice (Typing.com in the Portal). Do at LEAST 15 minutes or MORE this week. I WILL be checking your progress.

NEXT WEEK, there will be a QUIZ on the basics of typing (posture, home row fingering, where you should be looking, etc.), so be sure you get through several lessons so you are prepared.

This How to Type video (from last week's lesson) should prepare you for most of the questions on the quiz, if you watch it carefully and listen closely.
