After evaluating a number of different typing tutors, we have chosen Typing Agent for our Third, Fourth, and Fifth grade classes. We chose it because:

Typing ExerciseThis webpage gives you quick, useful practice in typing.
Type the red letter. When you have finished the letter or word, another appears immediately, so type that. At the end of the go, you will be told how many you have typed. Try again, and see if you can improve. If you make a mistake, you will be told so. Type the right letter to remove the message. Make sure that you don't have Caps Lock set! You can select smaller collections of letters, or short words. You can alter the font, the length of go and what colour the letter is. |
