Why Is My Child Slow at Typing? 6 Common Bottlenecks & Fixes

1. Hunting and Pecking: Using two index fingers forces the eyes to search for every single key. Overcome this with Typing With Both Hands.

2. Constantly Looking Down: Looking at the keys breaks reading flow. Fix this using Covered-Hand Drills.

3. Weak Pinky & Ring Fingers: Struggling to reach A, Z, Q, P, and Shift keys. Strengthen them in Pinky Practice.

4. Poor Ergonomics: Wrists resting heavily on desk edges or feet dangling, as addressed in our Typing Posture Guide.

5. Excessive Backspacing: Typing too quickly and making frequent errors.

6. Stiff Hand Tension: Tensing fingers like claws instead of relaxed curves.
