Common exception words, Years 1 and 2
Lesson twenty one. These are common words that children learn to spell in Years 1 and 2. Typing them helps your spelling too.
Keys: everything you have learned so far.
Tip: Some words are tricky to spell. Look at the whole word before you start typing it.
Ready? Sit up tall with your feet flat, put your fingers on the home row, and look at the screen, not your hands. Have a break after about 15 minutes.
The typing tutor needs JavaScript switched on in your browser.
For grown-ups
There are 4 short exercises. The tutor waits for the right key, so mistakes cannot pile up, and it shows accuracy and words per minute at the end of each one. The mini test is passed at 90% accuracy. Speed is not part of the pass mark unless you switch on Speed goals (goal for this lesson: 12 words per minute). Progress is saved only in this browser.
