Typing
Dance Mat Typing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/
Touch Typing: http://www.sense-lang.org/typing/tutor/index.php?lang=EN
Typing Practice: http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/typing/index.htm
Note: Please limit keyboarding to 10-15 min. per day for maximum benefit - spending more than than this tend to cause students to lose focus on using the keyboarding technique in an optimal way. I prefer Touch Typing from the list above.
Accelerated Reader: This program provides a comprehension test on all books that are read independently by the student, to the student, or with the student. I get all results so I can analyze the scores. THIS CAN NO LONGER BE USED AT HOME.
