Letters sit in three rows. Big keys do jobs, like space, enter, shift and backspace.
Each button on a keyboard is a key. Press a key and the computer hears it: one press, one mark.
The letter keys sit in three rows: the top row, the home row in the middle and the bottom row. Number keys run above them, and the long space bar lies below.
Letter keys make a letter. Job keys, such as shift, enter and backspace, do a job and never make a letter by themselves.
Know the row, and your finger can walk straight to the key.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
Three. The top row, the home row and the bottom row.
Backspace. It puts a slip right.
A job key. Enter does a job and makes no letter.
The home row. The top row is above it, and the bottom row is below it.
Ask a grown-up to show you a keyboard, and find the three rows of letters, then the space bar, enter, shift and backspace. Point to each one, and only press a key if the grown-up says yes.
Sit with a real keyboard and let your child point to each row and each big key before pressing anything, and only press a key if you say yes.
