**Project Summary:**
Practice spelling letters on [https://monkeytype.com/](https://monkeytype.com/) 's 100 most common words typing test. Practice spelling the first line of words on a test. Time myself on the first set of words and after the practice time myself on the same first set of words.
**Goal:**
Get a faster time spelling out the first set the of words when done practicing.
**Success criteria (& optional failure criteria):**
Get a faster time when I time myself after practice.
**Big picture goal, why you want to do this, or CF relevance:**
Practice small skills and maybe help bigger skills
**Plan:**
Get on [https://monkeytype.com/](https://monkeytype.com/) 100 most common words 15/30/60 second test
Time myself spelling the first line of words on the test
Practice for ten minutes
Time myself again spelling out the first set of words
**Context:** (optional – fill out or delete the context section)
I sometimes spell words out for colleagues, friends, or family. Maybe having an easier time spelling words will help with reading in general.

I got a faster time the second time I spelled the first set of words so that means I was successful. Even though I misspelled the last word I still had an easier time spelling everything and was faster.

The time was faster. I don’t know if it’s bad if the success criteria is the same as the goal.
**Other notes:**
Only thing I don’t like about the spelling is my throat starts to hurt from spelling out loud. The experience of spelling out words startied feeling very similar to typing them. I don’t know how to describe it but when I was spelling i thought I was actually typing instead.

I didn’t get a faster time. I felt myself getting faster after practicing a while. Just not with the first set.

I just checked I had the monkeytype window minimized so I had to work with less words. That means the time is not comparable to the other attempts. Still I think I got the success criteria for this attempt
