Becoming a Perfect Touch-Typing expert, especially for someone who is young and relies on a screen reader or needs an electric brailler to learn touch typing on braille keys, involves consistent practice and proper technique. Start by familiarizing yourself with the keyboard layout, focusing on the home row keys where your fingers should rest. Maintain good posture, with your feet flat on the floor and your wrists slightly elevated. Use all ten fingers and avoid looking at the keyboard (which is easy for her), relying on muscle memory instead. Practice regularly with typing exercises and tests available on websites like Typingclub.com. Aim for accuracy first, then gradually increase your speed. Over time, these habits will help you type quickly and efficiently, especially with the assistance of a screen reader.
Mikaela moved to my (Dr. Robinson’s) district when she was in 2nd grade. At that time, I was Miss Mehlenbacher, and all my students had fun with who could spell my name the fastest. Mikaela always won. We immediately began with all thing’s technology instruction, and this is her typing on her laptop just 5 months later. I apologize for many of the blurry pictures on this site, but most of them are from the year 2000-2010 and computer cameras were not that great back then.
