What's Your Speed?

One of the objectives in the computer/technology area is for each Canyon Rim Academy student in grades 3-6 to demonstrate a required speed and accuracy on the keyboard. Below is where each student would need to be by the end of the school year to accomplish this objective with a 4 in proficiency.

3rd grade - 15 wpm with 3 or fewer errors on a 30-second timed writing.

4th grade - 20 wpm with 3 or fewer errors on a 30-second timed writing.

5th grade - 25 wpm with 2 or fewer errors on a 1-minute timed writing.

6th grade - 27 wpm with 2 or fewer errors on a 2- or 3-minute timed writing.

Working on keyboarding a little every day is the key to becoming better at keyboarding. Because we only have computer time once every two weeks, students definitely will want to work on their keyboarding skills at home.
