Keystrokes to Literacy

March 3rd, 2006

The last entry reminded me of a brilliant resource, now out of print but still available (eg via Amazon), called Keystrokes to Literacy by Antonia Stone. Many adult basic educators (and online groups such as the LiteracyTent folk) refer to this when teaching beginning literacy and computer keyboard at the same time.
