During my many times of searching the internet for different stuff I came across this site called typingtest.com I like it, I always try to keep up on my typing skills and speed. Since November I have been dealing with and trying to recover from an injury to my hand I slipped and fell on a wet floor and dislocate my elbow and sprained my hand and wrist. It’s been a very long a slow recovery. I am finally getting to the point where I can use my hand again. So since I am finally healing I have noticed a slag in my typing speed and since I am a writer and will soon be working at my kids soon I really need to get my speed back up and I have been practicing a little each day. I’ve been using this typingtest.com site to help. It have different test you can choose from under the test your typing skills title there are tabs to click on you can choose how many minutes to type then underneath that there are titles to choose from these are the paragraphs/stories you will type. Once your done your results will be displayed it will show your percentages, your word per minutes and your accuracy. Another typing speed builder I like is Mavis beacon teaches typing software it’s good if you’re just learning as well as for the advanced. I like to go into the game area of the software it has this race car game that is really cool and I also like the timed typing too. Another good one that is especially good for kids is spongebob typing software the voices and the characters holds the kids attentions and is very simple for kids to grasp the understanding this is excellent for little kids that are just learning even learning the alphabet it’s a great way to combine both of the two together.
