About this level

Time to reach up. Every finger stretches one row higher and then comes straight back down to home. Ten new keys arrive here — two at a time — and suddenly most English words are within reach.

What you practise here

  • E and I — Middle fingers reach up. D goes to E, K goes to I. Then straight back down. Target: 16 words per minute at 90% accuracy.
  • R and U — Pointer fingers reach up from F and J. Target: 16 words per minute at 90% accuracy.
  • W and O — Ring fingers up. Small movement, big control. Target: 16 words per minute at 90% accuracy.
  • Q, P, T and Y — The far corners. Pinkies get Q and P; pointers stretch inward for T and Y. Target: 16 words per minute at 89% accuracy.
  • Sky row words — Real words using both rows now. Reach up, come home. Target: 20 words per minute at 93% accuracy.
  • Sky row champion — Two rows down, one to go. Target: 22 words per minute at 94% accuracy.

How this level is scored

Every lesson awards up to three stars. One star is for finishing, two for finishing accurately, and three for accuracy at the level's pace — speed on its own never earns a star. Lessons in this level also wait for the correct key: a wrong press does not move the cursor on, so a child cannot practise the wrong finger movement. Words per minute is recorded but never shown to the child — it appears only on the parent and progress pages.
