Ideas for Homeschool or Classroom - Typing Bulletin Board Recognition
Last Updated : October 17, 2025
Hey teachers and homeschool parents! Are you looking for ways to motivate your students to improve their typing skills? Look no further! A typing bulletin board is a fantastic way to recognize achievements, track progress, and inspire kids to keep practicing.
Here are 10 ideas to get you started:
1. Achievement Certificates
- Create colorful certificates for various achievements (e.g., completing a typing lesson, reaching a specific WPM score).
- WPM Progress Charts
- Use a graph or chart to visually display each child's progress over time. Update it regularly to reflect improvements in their typing speed and accuracy, offering both a visual motivator and a sense of accomplishment.
- Designate a section of the bulletin board as the "Typing Stars" wall. Each time a child reaches a new milestone-such as completing a level or achieving a new WPM record-add their name and a star or a fun icon to this area.
3. Goal-Setting Section
- Create a section for setting and tracking goals. Encourage students to write down their typing goals (e.g., "I want to type 45 WPM by the end of the month") and post a checklist as they achieve each step.
- Add motivational quotes about learning, perseverance, and success. These can inspire kids and serve as a constant reminder of their abilities and potential.
- Represent accomplishments with physical or decorative trophies or medals created from paper or other craft materials. Each trophy could represent different achievements like "Fastest Typist of the Month" or "Most Improved Score."
6. Peer Recognition
- Incorporate a "Kudos Corner" where students can praise each other's achievements. Peers can write short notes recognizing each other's successes, which can then be displayed.
- Use colored pins or stickers to mark each child's progress on designated levels of achievement. For instance, use different colors for different WPM milestones achieved.
- Create a "Typing Challenge" section where students can volunteer for additional typing practice or competitions, with a sign-up sheet for challenges they complete. Display results to highlight participation and effort.
- For each month, focus on a specific typing theme, such as "Speedy September" or "Accurate April." Celebrate achievements related to that theme, with relevant decorations and acknowledgment of students' efforts.
By implementing these ideas, you'll create a positive and encouraging learning environment that motivates students to improve their typing skills. Regular updates will keep the board fresh and inspiring!
