Grade 2-5 EL: Proper Keyboarding Form - Overview
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
We live in a society where more and more work is being done using a computer or similar device. Keyboarding has become an essential computer skill. Learning to keyboard using correct form over time will build muscle memory and automaticity. Through sufficient repetition, the fingers reach automatically for individual keys when they are needed. You don’t have to consciously think about where your fingers go. Proper Keyboarding form and technique makes you type faster, allowing you to get more work done in less time. It also improves the quality of your writing too!
