Do UltraKey tests affect the student's Technology grade?

Yes, keyboarding has become part of the elementary school's 
responibility to teach and assess. UltraKey is introduced at the 3rd 
grade level but not graded. 4th graders begin to receive a grade in 
the first trimester. 5-8th graders receive a grade all year for their 
keyboarding skills. They are excepted to use the proper home row 
fingering to keyboard.
Our goal is to type with high accuracy and then speed. Each student 
is individually assessed and has a goal.
