Learning to type is a vital part of modern education; help elementary school students master the basics of typing with this guided lesson! In a variety of different modules themed around squirrels and gem mining, learners will practice typing letters on the home row (including S, D, F, J, K, and L) as they maintain correct finger positioning.

This guided lesson is perfect for learners in first through fifth grade. Plenty of practice with typing is necessary for young students, especially those who will use computers or tablets in school. The ability to type quickly and accurately can help students take notes, do homework, and even communicate with their friends! 

Words work together in a sentence, each one performing a different task. By fifth grade, students have become more adept readers and writers and they are familiar with the basic parts of speech. The activities in this unit revisit some of the basics and also add depth to their existing understanding. Students will engage in such topics as superlative adjectives, correlative conjunctions and prepositional phrases, to name a few.
