Lewis learning finger typing, hopefully spelling too


Now that Lewis has mastered using the computer mouse, the next step is mastering the keyboard. For this task, will be exploiting his fascination with cars, more specifically Pixar car.

It doesn't take much to motivate him to type the word "pixar car" into Youtube search engine to search for Pixar Car videos to watch. Currently he occasionally needs assistance to type out the word/phrase but expect that eventually he would learn where the 6 alphabets are located in the keyboard.

Searching for Bob the Builder videos on Youtube

The next more ambitious task will be to get him to spell the words. Now not only do we have Pixar cars to motivate him, to that we have added Bob the Builders, his latest craze (I hope).

Wish me luck.
