Ollie's seatOllie had a story to type about his dog, Pebble. At first he sat nicely, but bit by bit he slid down in his chair. His feet dangled, his wrists were bent against the edge of the desk, and even his eyes felt tired. Auntie Ro helped him set up his seat. A small box went under his feet, a cushion went behind his back so he sat up tall, and two big books lifted the screen. "Eyes need breaks too," she said. "Look at something far away." Ollie looked out of the window at the big tree. Then Pebble stretched, and Ollie copied him with his arms up and his fingers spread wide. Now Ollie finished his story, sitting tall and comfy.

2False His feet dangled when he slid down in his chair, so Auntie Ro put a small box under them.
3looking at something far away Eyes need breaks too. Looking at something far away, like a big tree, gave Ollie's eyes a rest.
41-D, 2-E, 3-A, 4-B, 5-C Feet go flat, the back sits tall, wrists are straight like a bridge, the screen is about an arm away and shoulders are loose.
5feet flat on a box, back tall on a cushion, shoulders loose and low Flat feet, a tall back and loose shoulders make a good seat. Bent wrists and a close screen are worth changing.
6bridge Straight wrists make a little bridge, and the hands hover just over the keys.
74, 1, 3, 2 Auntie Ro did the box first, then the cushion, then the books, and then Ollie rested his eyes.
