Typing practice quickly became part of our homeschool routine and my skills quickly improved. On my first practice test, I scored a whopping nine words per minute (why my brain has retained THAT piece of information and not something more useful, I’ll never know). When we got our first computer in 1993 or 1994, my parents bought a few educational programs to use on it – the one I remember best was Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
