Pre-school children get satisfaction from simple typing exercises that help encourage their word processing skills. These exercises are a series of letter sequences or patterns for children to copy. They are simple to prepare and, as long as you make them read-only, can be used again and again.
Preparation
Type a line of characters in a simple sequence, for example 'a m a m a m', leaving one space between each letter. Make the letters reasonably large, and in a bold font. Then press the enter key three times to leave space for the children to copy type underneath. Prepare additional exercises similarly.
