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 easier sheets for Grades 4–5, good as a warm-up or a first look at the skill.
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.
