your keyboarding instruction by encouraging your
students to develop their keyboarding skills using NEO's

By integrating KeyWords with a Renaissance Place
subscription, you can access KeyWords progress
reports online, combine this information with data from
other Renaissance Place programs, and make informed
decisions that maximize your students' success.
