Transferring skills learnt using the Typing Tutor to word processed work

It is important that the students you are working with transfer the good habits they are developing in their regular typing practice to their word-processed work. All too often students will revert back to their bad habits, one hand and one finger! It can be helpful to reinforce this by typing the individual words from the exercise and then putting these words into a sentence. For instance:

The lad and lass asked the dad for a flask of tea.
