Keyboarding Continuum

All Yukon students need the opportunity to improve their keyboarding skills. The Keyboarding Continuum gives guidelines on the progress necessary each year using our existing software - All the Right Type.

This will be a phased implementation starting in the 2007-2008 school year. Students will be added to the ATRT database by grade, starting with Grade 3. Each year a new grade will be added. The students accounts will progress up the continuum annually until all grades are phased in.

Teachers in grades that have not been phased in can still add their own students to the ATRT database by class.

ATRT progress is individual for each student. This allows them to work at their own pace. The continuum gives guidelines on the optimum number of lessons that should be covered in a year and the suggested time necessary to do so.

It is recommended that all students be required to do a review of the Home Row keys (Lesson 2) annually.
