Hitting home row letters to the far left and the far right give pinkies the typing practice they need to be comfortable with the letter a and the semicolon.
The keyboard is a large and complex tool to 1st and 2nd graders, so a great way to begin teaching typing is to focus on one letter at a time. With challenges like helping a feathered friend snap up gems from a mine, and assisting a busy squirrel build up his acorn stash, your child will become a letter typing pro in no time.
