Typing Training
Help develop your students’ print concept and technology skills with this typing training worksheet. Unplugged and device free, this task will help familiarise students with the layout of a keyboard. Students type and then write their name, age, a friend’s name and a pet. Partners can then challenge each other to see who can type quickly and accurately.
