Keep your eyes up and a marker under the line. Copy in small bites.
When you copy from a page, keep your eyes on the page and the screen. Your fingers know home, so they do not need watching.
Put a marker under the line you are copying: a ruler, a finger or a strip of paper. It holds your place.
Copy in small bites of three or four words. Say them in your head, then type them.
When a line is done, slide the marker down one line. At the end, check your page against the card.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
A ruler, a finger or a strip of paper. Any of these keeps your place under the line.

Stop and find your marker. Then find the last word you typed, and carry on from there.
Ask a grown-up for a short page, like a recipe or a poem, and lay a ruler or a strip of paper under the first line. Type a few words at a time, slide it down when a line is done, and then check your typing against the page together.
Give your child a short page, like a recipe or a poem, and a ruler or a strip of paper; if they look down at their hands, simply point at the page and let them find the marker again.
