A long passage is many short, careful pieces. Mark your place and check as you go.
A long passage is many short, careful pieces, one after another.
Mark your place: slide a ruler or a finger under the line you are typing, then move it down to the next.
Read a small chunk, a phrase or one short sentence, then look at the screen and type just that chunk. Small chunks mean small jumps for your eyes, and fewer places to get lost.
At the end of each sentence, glance at the screen to check it matches. At the end of a paragraph, rest your hands and roll your shoulders.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
A ruler. Type one line, then slide the ruler down to the next.
A phrase. A short phrase or one short sentence is small enough to read and type.
At the end of each sentence. A quick check now is easier than a long hunt later.
Rest your hands and roll your shoulders. Rest first, then carry on.
Pick one short paragraph from a book. Slide a ruler or a finger down the lines. Read a small chunk, type it, and glance at the end of each sentence. When the paragraph is done, rest your hands and roll your shoulders. Then read your page beside the book, line by line, with the grown-up.
Sit beside your child with a real book and watch for the ruler or finger moving down the page; if they lose their place, praise the check that found it.
