Typing Skills

The following websites have free touch typing programs, with the exception of Type to Learn, which requires a username and password to login. All BH students in grades 3, 4, and 5 have access to Type to Learn. The username/password are their Fairport username/password. If you are having trouble accessing it, please email apoulin@fairport.org. KeySeeker is a better fit for our younger students and a great way to work on letter matching as well!
