Keyboarding Assessments

Each assessment should include a 1-minute timed typing test that allows students to reflect on keyboarding progress. Teachers should include time for students to practice keyboarding skills throughout each quarter. As an example, assessments on Typing.com are aligned with grade-level variance, but resources for keyboarding should be teacher selected.
