6. After you complete this lesson, you will return to the lesson list, where
you'll see * next to the lesson you've completed. The * will appear next to
each lesson as you complete it. The + will appear next to each lesson that
you have started, but not finished.
7. To choose another lesson that you want to complete (such as A S K L
Keys) move the cursor next to the lesson and press enter. For more
information on the other lessons, see the next section.
In each of the other lessons, students go through three activities: Learn new
keys, Use accuracy and speed builders, and Take accuracy and speed test.
As you complete each task, you can choose another option within this lesson,
or you can select another lesson. To go back to a previous screen (such as the
lesson list or the list of names), press esc until you get to that screen.

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.
