April 6 - April 9th Students will learn how to keyboard as they practice phonemes and spelling words using Read, Write, and Type from Talking Fingers. If your student does not have access to a computer, no worries. We will learn how to keyboard when we get back to school.

Directions:

1. Go https://www.talkingfingers.com/ and click the yellow button 'Login and Play.'
2. The username is your child's first name and the word 'net'.  There is no space between the words. For example, "Elizabethnet"
3. The password is 'netcong' for all student accounts.
4. Once the game loads, students will be instructed by the software as to which fingers to use for each letter.

As students use the software, they may need to be reminded to use the proper fingers for each key. Clicking the hands on the left and right side of the keyboard will offer assistance. Clicking Vexor the Virus will tell you which letter he wants to work on next.

Students should practice learning the keys using the correct finger placement for 30 minutes each week.
