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 Grades 4–6, best once the basics of the skill are secure.
An answer key comes with it as a separate page that grown-ups download after signing in.
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.
