Typing at HKA

HKA believes that in order to prepare students for a 21st Century environment, we need to spend time on the core skill of typing. It is recommended that students practice their typing skills for 5 to 10 minutes 4 to 5 times a week. Little and often is much better than once a week.

Dear Parents and Students,

HKA has purchased home licenses for Typing Club that our students in grades 3-5 can use at home to support their typing.

It is recommended that students practice at least two to three times a week for 10 minutes each time. The data from our tests show that students who do practice regularly will improve a minimum of 8 words per minute every 4 to 6 months. Over grades 3, 4 and 5 this can significantly increase their typing level to that of the average adult typer (40wpm).
