Typing Practice Method

  • Start from the beginning even if you practiced typing before.
  • Do not look at the keyboard!
  • Try to type accurate, NOT FAST. Speed will come with repetition and time.
  • Your goal is to type with NO MISTAKES, not fast.
  • SPEED WILL COME BY ITSELF.
  • Advance to the next lesson only when you can finish that lesson's exercise in under 60 seconds and without any mistakes.
  • You will have to repeat the exercises many times to complete a level. Don't let this discourage you.
  • It might take several days of practice to complete a level.
  • You will feel more confident after completing the first three lessons.
  • Proceed to the next level only when you have completed the current lesson.

Keep in Mind

The figure above shows the finger distribution in touch typing.

  • The keyboard is made up of keys that are placed diagonally form left to right.
  • The thumbs are responsible for pressing the SPACE key and the two adjacent keys on the sides of it.
  • Index fingers are responsible from two key colons each.
  • Middle and ring finger are responsible from one column each.
  • The pinky fingers are responsible from the remaining keys on the left and right of the keyboard.
