How to Improve Your Typing in 10 Minutes or Less!

My son had plateaued with his typing and couldn't get past 24.2 wpm.  He had been stuck there for over a week and was very frustrated.  I told him he could do it the easy way or the hard way.  He said he'd rather do it the hard way and why not just use the click track.  I told him I'd tap with him so he agreed.  We tapped for about 10 minutes then he went and retook the typing test.  His accuracy was the same (94.3%) but his words per minutes was now 34.2!  It was incredible.

The next day he took the test in his class and his accuracy went up to 98% and he was typing at 40.5wpm.  How's that for a speedy improvement!  I have been tapping with my kids lately and I've found that it's just as effective for me to tap for someone as it is for them to tap for themselves.  So if you have someone who can't tap for themselves, go ahead a give it a try.  You may find you can really lend a hand without even touch them.
