Keyboard Letters: Learn Where Every Key Is

About Keyboard Letters

With this keyboard letters game, little ones (and grown-ups just starting out with the computer) learn to find each key in a fun way. A big letter appears on screen and you have to press it on the computer keyboard or on the virtual keyboard shown below. Every correct answer uncovers a piece of a hidden photo, so there's an instant visual reward that encourages you to keep going. It's a very simple way to take your first steps before practicing typing more fluently; you can continue with our typing games.

How to Play Keyboard Letters?

1. Look at the big letter that appears on the screen.
2. Find it among the computer keyboard letters and press it.
3. If you get it right, a square of the picture is revealed; if you miss, try again.
4. Complete all the squares to see the whole photo.

Both vowels and consonantscome up, so by the end the whole alphabet gets reviewed. It's a short activity, perfect for five- or ten-minute sessions at home or in the computer lab. Parents and teachers will find it useful to help kids lose their fear of the computer and discover that the letters aren't in alphabetical order but spread out according to the keyboard layout. Repeating it several times makes the hands find each key on their own.

• Encourage the child to rest their index fingers on the F and J keys (they have a small bump) and return there after every keystroke.
• At first, focus on getting it right before going fast; speed comes on its own.
• Ask which letter it is and how it sounds before pressing it to connect keyboard and reading.
