The Basic Application Software Integrating Keyboarding Skills (BASI"K"S) program for elementary students in
grades 4-6 is designed to develop cross-curriculum, interdisciplinary skills used to enhance subjects taught in the
regular classroom. These skills are essential for today's students to function effectively in our highly technological society.
By the time they leave 6th grade, our students type an average of 25 WPM. However, our focus in the elementary grades is
on techniqe and accuracy, not speed. We want the students to learn proper habits first; speed will come with practice!
