How to use it
Sit at a keyboard with fingers resting on the home row before typing the first line. Accuracy first: speed comes once each line is typed without looking. It is one of the harder sheets for Grade 3, best once the basics of the skill are secure.
There is no separate answer key; talk through the answers together when it is done.
Tip for grown-ups: Short daily practice beats one long session: one or two lines a day is plenty.
Done on paper? A grown-up can record it on the child's page in PlayOwl; downloading alone doesn't count as finished.
