Read More »There are two common ways to use a keyboard: you can use your pointers to hit one key at a time and spell out words and punctuation. This has also been called the “Hunt and Peck” method. Alternatively, it’s possible to place your whole hands down on the keyboard with fingers resting lightly on the A, S, D, F and ;, J, K, L keys, and thumbs hovering over the space bar. You then lift one finger at a time to type a string of keys and spell out words through a series of coordinated and automatized movements. What’s different in the “touch typing” approach is that it requires a certain amount of beginner knowledge so you type the right keys with the right fingers. It also involves some fairly intricate movements that need to be rehearsed until they feel comfortable and you can execute them at top speed.
Research suggests that ahistory of abuse (emotional, psychological, physical, sexual), domestic violence, trauma, poor attachment, andparent-child...

Read More »It’s hard not to look down. If you’ve been typing with two fingers your whole life, it can be very tricky not to look down. Unfortunately, it is a habit you’ll have to break! Try cutting two holes in a shoebox and turning it upside down over the keyboard so you are forced to feel your way around the keys. You might also consider draping a tea towel/ dish cloth over your hands, typing in the dark, or even going to the extreme length of blacking out the keys with a marker. Note that on this last one you’ll need to make sure no one else is planning to use the computer who might need to see the letters on the keyboard! For more tips, read strategies for beginner typists. My hands are too big, too small, or just don’t move that way. An ergonomic keyboard can make a big difference if you have large hands because it gives you more space and room to execute the movements. You might also try a computer vs. laptop keyboard as it requires more pressure to select the keys. If small hands are a problem, you might need to wait until a child is older to begin typing lessons. For stiff fingers, shake your hands out before you sit down to a lesson, stretch your fingers, bend them in different directions, and massage your muscles with some cream before and after you practice your typing. Keep in mind new movements will always feel awkward in the beginning, but they will get easier the more you type. I’m having trouble getting going. Turn off any background noise on your computer and listen to yourself typing out a sequence of letters. Focus on accuracy and don’t worry about speed. Next, type the same word many times over and try to establish a rhythm. You can use a metronome to help you if you’re still struggling. If it’s motivation you need more of, go to a café where other people are touch typing. Position yourself near a window so you can see your reflection and go through your lessons appreciating how cool you look as part of this public typing club! I make too many mistakes. You will make mistakes in the beginning so be prepared and take it step by step. What’s important is to immediately correct your mistakes before they become part of your muscle memory. If you continue to confuse a certain movement, have someone video you so you can see if it’s your wrist, arm movement or typing technique that’s causing the problem. It may also be down to the position of your hands on the keyboard. You can also try putting blue tack on keys that you have a hard time finding, to make it easier for your fingers to feel a key vs. visually scan for it. I’m not fast enough. When you’re new to it, touch typing will often take longer than two finger typing because you have to learn a new skill. Try not to become frustrated if you’re typing at a slow speed and give it time. Once you know how to type all of the keys on the keyboard with the correct fingers, you can begin to work on speed. Learn more about fast typing. It takes too much time and effort to learn. It doesn't have to take months to learn touch typing and there’s no need to sit down to long typing sessions at the keyboard. Some people learn all of the keys after just six hours of following a typing course. When you have mastered each key, try to set up a weekly practice schedule where you work for 30 minute to 1 hour long lessons x2 or x3 a week. The more you type, the faster you will build muscle memory. Learn more about how long it takes to learn typing. Typing lessons are not interesting. In order for your fingers to learn the keys, many typing programs make use of rote copying activities and dictation exercises. However, there’s nothing stopping you from making your practice sessions more interesting by freestyle typing along to the lyrics of your favourite song, or watching a film or TV series and typing the dialogue. I’m too old. You’re never too old to learn new things. In fact, learning to type later in life is a great way to get comfortable at the computer and keep your brain from atrophy. Plus, you’ll be able to use your new typing skills to rattle off emails to grandkids and communicate with loved ones no matter how far away they live. This is particularly useful if you struggle with hearing them over the phone. I have a motor-skill deficiency or learning difficulty. Typing on a keyboard may actually be easier and less painful than writing by hand for kids with dyspraxia. There are also ways to customize a typing course to accommodate motor skills deficiencies, such as adjusting settings so the keyboard does not flag up a repeat key because too much pressure has been applied to it. In the same way, touch-typing can be extremely useful for individuals who struggle with dysgraphia and dyslexia. Learn more in touch typing for dyslexics. I need to type in different languages. There’s not much help we can offer here other than a recommendation that you look into learning different keyboards for each language you speak. That’s because the QWERTY design varies slightly depending on high frequency letters in a language and any new keys that may be needed for accents or letters that don’t exist in English. Technology has made it an obsolete skill. Text to speech is an amazing tool, particularly for individuals with special needs. However, you need a quiet place in order to use it. If you’re looking to use your typing skills on the go in cafes, airports, and even travelling to work on the train, then talking out loud isn’t an option. Also, consider that typing on a small smartphone screen may result in many typos and errors.

Read More »Of course they can! Once a child’s hands are big enough to rest comfortably on the keyboard there is no reason why they shouldn’t learn typing.
