Typing Hints and Tricks
Locate the home-row keys on the keyboard.   Force yourself to use the correct fingers to strike the keys. If you forget which finger to use, look at the picture accompanying the exercise. The beginning exercises are extremely important because you are developing correct keystroke patterns. No magic needed to type.   Learning how to type is not magic. It requires patience and more practice. Use Word Wacker and let the Little Professor be your guide in developing valuable typing skills. Don’t worry about speed and accuracy.   Relax when typing the beginning exercises. However, always use the correct finger/keystroke pattern. Speed and accuracy will develop naturally through practice once your fingers have been “correctly trained.” Finger placement.   Gently place the fingers of your left hand on the a s d f keys and the fingers of your right hand on the j k l ; keys. Your fingers should be slightly curved. Your wrists should be low but not resting on the keyboard. Your elbows should be close in, next to your side. Thumbs.   While your fingers are gently touching the home-row keys, the thumbs should be slightly above the space bar (the long bar at the bottom of the keyboard). To press the space bar, make a quick downward motion with your right thumb. Be patient.   Once the correct finger-keystroke patterns are used, speed and accuracy occur naturally. |
