At Typing Agent, we know that strong typing skills unlock a world of learning opportunities for your students. That’s why we’ve put together our latest blog filled with 7 practical tips, built-in tools, and classroom strategies to help you get the most out of Typing Agent—whether you’re using it as a bellringer, in small groups, or as part of your core instruction.
1. Establish Clear Typing Goals
Start by setting measurable milestones for your students. Use Typing Agent’s printable Badges to recognize progress and keep students motivated as they reach their goals.
2. Build a Weekly Routine
Consistency matters. We recommend students type for 10 minutes a day, 5 days a week or any routine that totals 50 minutes weekly. For grades 3 and up, consider aiming for one World of lessons per week. For K–2, a Flag every two weeks is a solid benchmark.
3. Personalize with Adaptive Features
Typing Agent adjusts to each student’s performance, creating a learning path that meets them where they are. From younger students who benefit from subvocalizing letters to advanced typists ready for higher-speed drills, our adaptive tools help everyone succeed.
4. Make the Most of Built-in Tools
Use Reporting Tools to monitor class-wide and individual progress. Need to help students improve specific keys? The Targeted Practice feature allows students to work on the exact keystrokes they’re struggling with. For longer, real-world writing exercises, the built-in NotePad provides a great space for extended writing practice.
5. Celebrate Success Loudly and Proudly
Shoutouts, classroom leaderboards, and certificates go a long way in reinforcing effort and growth. Recognize every win, big or small, and watch your students’ confidence grow.
6. Gamify for Greater Engagement
Turn on game-based learning and rewards to keep students engaged. These fun features turn daily practice into something they’ll look forward to.
7. Encourage Accuracy and Focus
Whenever students log in, remind them to give 100% focus. Reinforce the importance of accuracy and steady progress over speed alone, especially for younger learners building foundational skills.
