Spot Check: Letters

Why It Works

In Spot Check: Letters, individual letter fluency is evaluated by having students hold down a target key with one hand while typing with the other hand. Student speed is measured in Keys Per Minute (KPM) and accuracy is measured by the percentage of correct keys hit.

How It Works

  1. Click and hold the target with a finger on the left or right hand.
  2. At the same time, type the letters on the screen as quickly and accurately as possible.

Spot Check: Paragraph Speed and Accuracy

Why It Works

In Spot Check: Paragraph, students are assessed on using both hands to type a grade-level appropriate paragraph. This Spot Check also measures student accuracy with punctuation and use of the space bar. Students speed is measured in Words Per Minute (WPM) and accuracy is measured by the percentage of correct keys hit.

How It Works

  1. Type each paragraph as quickly and accurately as possible.
