Keyboarding Games
Proper keyboarding is a 21st Century skill and essential for all students. QAE students are beginning good keyboarding habits. They're on the way to being solid keyboarders by practicing their skills using a program called Type to Learn Jr (TTLjr) and Type To Learn 4 (TTL4).  TTL4 begins each student at the basic foundation of keyboarding (Recruit): hand positioning, posture, and home row keys. The program allows each user to save the world through proper keyboarding and accuracy! TTLjr enters the student into the learning center and introduces them to all the letters on the keyboard and which hand should type which letters. 

For primary students the goal is letter recognition on the keyboard and practice finding letters and symbols. A "Keyboarding" page has been created using resources from my favorite, tried and true, websites that make keyboarding fun - total family fun! Intermediate students have a great times using many of these resources as well. 

Both programs are available for home installation. Please if you'd like to check out a CD, install at home and support your child with keyboarding practice fun! 

Happy Keyboarding!

Dear Parents – We believe that proper keyboarding is a 21st Century skill and essential for all students. At Queen Anne and McDonald Elementary students are becoming solid keyboarders by practicing using a program called Type To Learn 4. This program begins each student at the basic foundation of keyboarding: hand positioning, posture, and home row keys.

Below are links that will allow parents to download Type To Learn at home – it is our goal that keyboarding practice continues at home. Each child has an individual account that monitors his/her progress. The program will progress the user as they finish activities with success. Practice at home will be recorded on individual accounts.

After downloading the program email me for the account code needed to activate the account. Your child should know his/her password. I will respond quickly, make a note of those students connected and also include instructions on Type To Learn 4.

Type to Learn 4 was developed for students in grades K-12. Kindergarten and first graders will be using Type To Learn Jr in the classroom. Parents are still welcome to download TTL4.

Happy Keyboarding!
Mr.  Jeffrey
