The programs that are being

It is very important for the
students to use the correct techniques in all their keyboard use. If they use the correct techniques while
working on other school projects, leisure activities, etc., it provides an excellent
practice and reinforcement for Keyboarding/Word Processing.

Technique Evaluation. Please use it at
home and evaluate your son/daughter as they practice. This will let you see what areas they might
need extra work on.
Each student should have a binder

they can use it as a reference guide. I
check them periodically. This is part of
their grade.
