The Importance of Good Technique
Proper technique forms the foundation for successful touch keyboarding. The importance of demonstrating and continuously encouraging proper technique with your child cannot be over-emphasized. Technique should be observed and closely monitored whenever children are operating a keyboard, whether they are keying a story or practicing keyboarding drills. It is extremely important to encourage and develop good keyboarding habits right from the start.
Good Keyboarding Technique Means:

* Keep fingers curved a little.
* Keep wrists a little above the computer so they do not touch it.
* Sit straight, lean a bit forward from the waist; keep feet on the floor (if possible).
