How to Teach Typing
How to teach typing for a child who had
difficulties with scanning and identifying alphabets, and facing
great fine motor difficulties.
My son had difficulties with visual
discrimination and auditory discrimination.So he was getting confused
with p and b, a and g, h and n, u and n…For that I worked at home.
1. Pointing to alphabets in an alphabet
sheet with visual cues.
2. Find which is different from a strip
of alphabets.( All his confusion alphabets).Sorting that set of
alphabets(n and u,p and b,b and d)
3. When above two steps achieved
independently ,I sticked some alphabets on the laptop and created one
worksheet for typing his familiar words with visual cues.I was
putting space between the sounds in the cards,otherwise he was
getting confused.
4. When he moved into independent typing
for that worksheet I introduced more words .Always I was shifting
all worksheets to independent typing because my long term goal is
data entry.
5. In the next level I choose 7 more
words,that associated with his daily life and in that there is no
space between sounds.
6. Then I introduced ‘clevy keyboard’
for him and was practicing all the above worksheets.
7. Now he is able to type words
independently using Clevy keyboards .
I achieved a small step of data entry.
Sharing all the above video link for
helping other parents.
