OK, just wanted to update – I did a little online search that said that 60 wpm was the most common specificied requirement for Administrative job advertisements.
I also entered two of the alternate plans into the CMO – hope those are useful for people not using the suggested plan (search for typing instructor and I entered a plan for the home row (going to use that for my five year old) and the skill building plan (going to use that for the two that have completed the plan for their age level.)
I think our family is going to set a goal of 45 wpm to be able to be done with typing. Then if anyone wants to go into a field where a faster speed is required they’ll be able to get there pretty quickly with some attention, but I don’t want typing to be a subject that we work on for years and years as a stand alone subject – I’m guessing they will continue to increase in speed the more they are required to type for their composition lessons.
