How to Typing

Touch typing is the skill of typing without looking at the keyboard. It is a motor skill that, like driving or riding a bike, can be learned and mastered by anyone. An experienced touch typist can type effortlessly and with amazing speed because they have trained their fingers to find the correct keys automatically, without consciously thinking about them. Want to learn how? This typing course will give you a set of exercises to train your fingers to learn to type. The typing lessons are all free, online and available to you at any time. Let's get started! The first principle of touch typing is to always return your fingers to the home row when you are not typing. The home row will be the reference point from which you will learn the positions of all the other keys. Most keyboards have small bumps on the f and j keys to help you find the home row without looking at the keys. As you begin these typing lessons, remember to focus on accuracy. Aim for 100% accuracy and speed will come with practice. Touch typing is all about developing muscle memory through the consistent repetition of your finger movements. With practice, the movements will become natural. You will type faster and with less conscious effort.
