Hi there!

You are doing great! In general, the average typist can type 41 WPM; typing at or above 57 WPM is deemed above average. When you are first learning to type, accuracy is more important than speed. As long as you are practicing, your speed will improve over time. Keep it up!

You should try to play the games that improve your speed like for example the game speed builder or letter train 1 and even letter train 2

@emdoggy7, that’s a great suggestion!

Typing games are a great way to practice both speed and accuracy across the whole keyboard. They also happen to be quite fun!

I am in 6th and mine is 37 so I think that you are doing alright. Some people progress slower than others.
