Word Skills for Beginners

Word Skills for Beginners. Do you need your students to master the basics of Microsoft Word so that they can use it independently? This set of lessons will get them there.

5 lessons to teach the skills of:

• changing fonts
• adding pictures
• layering
• spell check
• making bulleted lists

Each lesson includes an instructional video for the students and a template to practice each skill.

This version of Word Skills for Beginners requires no prior knowledge. Each lesson can be done separately or during consecutive weeks in the computer lab. Simply load the video and the template onto your password protected class website and direct students to it. I took care of the rest.This 5 lesson unit is ideal for young students who can read- late 1st to 2nd grade students. 

Provided in a zipped file, this resource includes 5 instructional videos, directions for the teacher (also in preview file), and 5 templates for students to use to complete the activities in each lesson.

If you're looking for a complete unit for PowerPoint Skills and printable activities to reinforce the skills, check out my PPT Skills Complete Unit for upper elementary students.

These lessons are included in the k-5 technology curriculum, so please do not buy both.
