RE:                 Practice websites

DATE:             January 14, 2010

 

Following is a list of websites for your child to use to practice proper keyboarding.  Some of these sites have advertising and links to other sites.  I have tired to identify those sites; you may choose not to have your student use those sites.  I have tested each site listed and found it to be safe as of the above date.
