The handout Target Saving.rtf is slow to open.
If you are not in middle school, I suggest you always use the links in the right-side column.
Lessons in the left-side column will open as a web page. The lesson could be printed.
Do not make corrections. Just realize you have made a mistake and try to avoid making the same error again. Focus on your technique. Correct fingers on the right keys.
