Quick Guide
Learn New Keys
This part of the lesson helps you learn to type the keys. When you choose
this option, KeyWords asks you to type the keys you’re learning and to type
combinations of the keys in different sequences. If you type the wrong key,
KeyWords will make corrections, but if you continue to type the wrong keys,
KeyWords will give you a hint and show you the keyboard layout with the key
highlighted to help you find it. You must press the correct key to go on.
Use Accuracy and Speed Builders
This helps you improve your accuracy and increase your speed while typing
the keys. There are six practice passages in the accuracy and speed builders
for each lesson. To choose the passage you want to work on, move the cursor
next to it and press enter. During the accuracy part of the activity, KeyWords
will ask you to type each of the words as accurately as possible; then, it will
give you the words in different sequences. After you pass the accuracy part of
the activity, the speed builder will start, and KeyWords will ask you to type the
words as quickly as you can. KeyWords will show you your goal before the
speed builder, and afterwards, it will show you whether you met the goal.
Take Accuracy and Speed Test
The test checks your proficiency typing these keys. When you choose this
option, KeyWords shows you the goals you need to meet for accuracy and
speed in order to pass the test. After you’ve finished the test, the screen
shows your accuracy and speed scores, your goal, and whether you passed
for accuracy and for speed. After each Accuracy and Speed Test, NEO 2 will
send information about the student’s KeyWords work to NEO Manager
automatically (unless you are using offline mode).
How Students Send Information About Their KeyWords Work to the Teacher
(to NEO Manager)
Information about KeyWords work is automatically sent after each accuracy
and speed test; however, students can also send it by following these steps:
1. Start the KeyWords Wireless SmartApplet (see page 32).
2. Press the key until your name is highlighted in the list. Then, press
enter.
