🧠 Pedagogical & Motor Development Guidance
At age 7–8, bilateral hand control enables true 8-finger home row touch typing. 2nd graders can comfortably understand that each finger has a designated column and begin reaching to the top row without moving their entire hand.
Key Motor & Cognitive Milestones
- 🎯Full home row finger placement (ASDF JKL;)
- 🎯Reaching to top row vowels (E, R, T, U, I, O) and returning to home row
- 🎯Using the Shift key for capital letters at the start of sentences
- 🎯Benchmark goal: 10–15 WPM with 90%+ accuracy
Teacher & Parent Implementation Tip
Schedule two 15-minute practice periods weekly. Encourage curved fingers like holding a small tennis ball.
