Typing Practice

Dear Third Grade Parents,                                    

Our students have been practicing their typing skills at school using the online program, Typing Pal. As with anything, practice makes permanent. Although we will not be assigning Typing Pal practice at home for homework, we want to make the log-in information available to you and your child. This optional activity can be done at home at will. With the long break coming up, this may be a fun option for our students.

To access Typing Pal:

Go to https://school.typingpal.com

Click on Typing Pal School Log In (all lower case)

School Code: gralandc

Username: firstnamelastname (ex. johnsmith)

Password: graland

Please monitor your child’s typing skills. Remind them to keep their fingers on the “home row” keys with their index fingers on ‘f’ and ‘j’. Also, reminders to look only at the screen and not at fingers will help automaticity. The program moves them up levels as they master each letter.

We hope you enjoy this option for practice at home, but know it is not required. If you have any questions, please contact your classroom teacher.

Warmly,

The Third Grade Team
