    Main Menu


    This is the     Main Menu.

    Click on "Beginning Keystrokes" if you are a beginner.

    If you already have good typing skills, with the correct finger-keystroke reaches, you are welcome to click on "Skill Building."

    Please think before you jump ahead. Sure, you can "do it your way," but it is best to let the Little Professor be your guide and follow the sequence shown.

    When the computer is "online," clicking the "On Line Help" button will give you the current screen.

    The screen will appear as shown after clicking on "Beginning Keystrokes."

    There are five major typing topics for "Beginning Keystrokes:" "Getting Started"; "Beginning Letters;" "Advanced Letters;" "A to Z Typing," and "Tricky Fingers."

    Each of these topics contain 10 exercises.

    Also notice that "Getting Started" is highlighted in green.

    Beginning Keystrokes
    After clicking on "Getting Started," the Beginning Keystrokes screen will appear as shown.

    There are 10 exercises to "get you started." The Little Professor will help you "train your fingers."

    What should you do after reading the screen? Simply click on the green button.



    After clicking on the green "Start" the screen will appear as shown.

    Notice the detailed instructions on which finger is assigned to which key. The Little Professor does not leave anything to chance. Follow his guidance and you will learn touch typing.

    After reading and checking your finger positions, simply click on the green button.


    This is the actual typing exercise. Follow the correct keystrokes, and type the exercise. Adjust the sound so you can hear when an error is made.


    After completion of an exercise, save the results if you wish. Or, please repeat an exercise until you feel comfortable.

    If you save the exercise, you will go to the next exercise in the series.


    The selection is set up for the next exercise in the series,"Home Row Review." The Little Professor knows you have just typed the home row, but practice is required to build the correct finger-keystroke reaches.

    After typing the exercises in "Getting Started" you will be guided through the exercises in: "Beginning Letters," "Advanced Letters," "A to Z Typing," and then "Tricky Fingers."

    Let's take an overview of the remaining exercises.
