Enjoy Fall Break!
As your children practice using Blossomwood TypingClub, make sure they are using the correct finger placement. All of their fingers should be resting on the "home-row" keys with their two index fingers on F and J (remind them about the bumps on those keys) with their other fingers gently resting on the keys directly next to them. Their thumbs stay on the spacebar.
Our goal is to have the students touch-typing at 10 words per minute (95% accuracy) without looking down at their keys!
"Mrs. Carter, this is hard!" Yes, it is now - but it won't be forever! I bet you don't remember how hard learning to walk was, but you weren't perfect the first time you tried that, either! You had to keep working at it to get better. This is just like that - keep practicing!
