Typing Master Recommended Course Settings
Grades 5-6 

Grades 5-6:  Lesson duration-35 min; WPM-25; accuracy-80%; timed test-2 minute.  Backspaced allowed after all keys have been introduced.

Feel free to adjust the test text and access to the final test.  Also, these are recommended settings that can be adjusted to fit each district/schools needs.

Regarding enabling/disabling backspace; at the beginning of Keyboarding instruction, focus is on learning the key positions and accuracy where typically backspace is disabled.  Then, after all keys have been introduced, backspace can be enabled to allow focus on increasing speed.  Backspace should be enabled on the final test for the course.
