Student Notes

100's Club

As of Sept. 15th, students that have passed off their ABC's (ABC STARS) can work on the 100's Club.  This is a great option for students that are seriously about developing a great keyboarding skill. 

In the "My Documents" section of this web page are downloadable files that contain the word lists.  Students can work on this at home to be part of the 100's Club.  They must do the following:

1.  Type each of the 100 words on the word list five (5) times each.

2.  Put their name at the top.

3.  Number each word using the numbering function of their word processing software.

4.  Put the document in small print (10 point) font size and try to minimize the number of pages to be printed, then print and staple (if necessary) the word list. Most lists can be kept to one page if font size is reduced.

5.  Have a parent sign the printed copy and return to Mrs. Jacobson.

Now is the time to start working on speed improvement of your base rate (original typing speed).  Go to "Typing Tutor" in this program (the NEW BETA version) and find the "Customized Practices" and pick any of the timings from the drop-down list (there are 10 timings to choose from).  Work on achieving an increase in your "Adjusted WPM" that is 5, 10, 15, or 20 WPM faster than your base rate.
