A.T.R.T. And Typer Shark

Hi! I am Nathaniel Bergman and I am going to tell you about A.T.R.T. (All The Right Type) and Typer Shark. A.T.R.T. is a typing game where you learn to type all the letters of the alphabet, and then all the numbers. You also learn the symbols “.”,”,” and “?” along with how to make capital letters. I think the hardest level was “Capitals and periods”. The sequence of a level is: first learning lab, second practice pavilion, third skill building, and then after every three levels testing center. When you beat the game, you work on practice pavilion to improve your WPM (Words Per Minute) scores. When you beat the game, you can also go on Typer Shark on Friday. On typer shark, you type words on sharks and bonus jellyfish, and letters on faster piranhas before they touch you. At the end of each level, there is a shipwreck bonus where you type as many words as you can before air runs out. Sometimes, there is a boss at the end of a level (like a submarine or a robot shark) right before the shipwreck bonus. You do A.T.R.T. or Typer Shark every day during math groups.
