Go slowly, and use the right finger. Every letter has its place.
Go slowly and use the right finger. Every letter has its place.
Each finger owns its own column of keys. A finger reaches up or down its column, taps, and goes back home.
A big rush leaves gaps and doubled letters. One key and then the next one gets every letter right.
Fingers learn like a path through the grass: walk the right path again and again, and it gets smooth. Speed comes later, by itself.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
The right pinky. The right pinky owns p.
The left ring finger. That is the left ring finger's column.
The right middle finger. That is the right middle finger's column.
q, a and z. The left pinky owns the first column on the left.
Rest your fingers on the home row. Type a to z slowly, one key at a time, with the right finger for each letter. Show a grown-up your row of letters.
Let your child say each letter aloud as they find it and stay calm about slips, since they can simply repeat a small bite; an alphabet banner makes a good project.
