A few months back, Miss Kate and Ms. Valentine at Yung Wing Elementary School gave their 4th-grade students an assignment to type up a report.<\/p>\n

They expected that they would have to address issues of formatting and grammar, but they never realized that the real struggle would be the typing itself!<\/p>\n

Most of the students were hunting and pecking their way across the keyboard, and so the assignment took far longer than expected.<\/p>\n

The teachers knew that something that had to be fixed and discussed what could be done to help their students learn to type with their colleagues.<\/p>\n

With budget constraints, their only option was to find a free solution. That\u2019s when they heard about\u00a0Typing.com.<\/p>\n
