Description: Kids will practice typing simple 2-5 letter words only using letters from the top row (also called Q Row) on a keyboard from a model. Letters typed are: QWERTYUIOP. This is perfect for independent time/centers all month long. The preview has sound if you press "Full-sized Preview." A total of 41 words are typed, here are a few of the words: pet, pup, rip, yet, we, you, trip, quiet, otter, write, wet, rope, your. There is a different picture on each page that usually goes with the first word typed. Kids only need to know how to type letters, use a space bar between words, and click on the SUBMIT button on the right of the screen to find out if they typed correctly. (Do not hit Enter/Return after typing). Students get instant feedback and can correct their work if needed. Teachers get automatic grading and can see what the student got wrong, even if the deck is completed multiple times.
