Why is typing important for students?
Typing helps students complete assignments more quickly, take efficient notes, and prepare for college and career readiness where typing is an essential everyday tool. Even 10–15 minutes a few times per week can make a noticeable difference. Consistency is more important than long sessions. Building typing fluency now will pay off in class and in the future.
