Keyboarding Practice for Students
Keyboarding has become a necessary skill for education and most careers.
Students must be skilled keyboarders with the introduction of online standardized testing and they should practice touch-typing skills at home when time allows.
Children must learn touch typing—the ability to compose text without
looking at keys—so they can focus on their writing. Touch-typing is a “fluency skill” akin to memorizing the multiplication tables in order to more quickly perform complex mathematics.
