What typing looks like in 6th grade
Sixth graders are expected (W.6.6) to type a minimum of three pages in a single sitting, and middle school brings typed essays in almost every subject. Stamina and accuracy now matter more than new keys. Timed 1- and 2-minute tests, the paragraph lessons and the speed sprint build steady rhythm. Encourage 95% accuracy first; speed follows naturally when fingers stop correcting mistakes.
