Practice Typing with Rhythm

Start an online metronome, then type something in a word processor.  At school you could start the metronome, then do Letterchase.  Here are approximate relationships between "beats per minute" (bpm) and "words per minute" (wpm):

bpm 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 130 If you walk 133 steps a minute it is  4 mph. (150spm=4.5 mph; 167spm=5mph)
wpm 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26

 Try some of these online metronomes for variety:
