I don't know if it will help or not, but I had a simmilar experience with a
typing in colege, only the bad grades were from misspelling dictation. The
teacher couldn't tell the diffrerence between typos and misspellings, and
even if she did she wouldn't have cared.
I found games for which different keys activated a weapon to shoot at a "bad
guy" with the corosponding letter displyed on the graphic.
It started with the "home position" keys only, then the "upper" then "lower".
Then started gradualy mixing it up. As the game level went on more and more
of the keyboard was included.
I wish I could find that game and it's creators and in some way show my
gratitude.
