Hold shift with one hand, tap the letter with the other, and a capital appears.
Every letter has a tall twin, called a capital. Tapping a key on its own gives the small letter.
A sentence starts with a capital, a name starts with a capital, and the word I is always a capital.
To make a capital, hold the shift key with one hand and tap the letter with the other.
Each side of the keyboard has a shift key. Hold the one on the other side from your letter, then let go of both.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
The right shift. The left hand types d, so the right pinky holds shift.
The left shift. The right hand types j, so the left pinky holds shift.
Mia, Rex and I. A name and the word I always need a capital. Dog is not a name.
Hold shift, tap the letter, let go of both. Hold shift first, tap the letter, and then let go.
Ask a grown-up if you may use the keyboard, then type the names of the people and pets in your home. Give each one a capital first letter, holding shift with the pinky on the other side, and show a grown-up when you are done.
Ask your child which hand types the letter before they reach for shift, since the other-side rule is the part that takes practice, and check that names on a card start with capitals.
