Tips for this lesson
- Introduction to Typing. Welcome to TypePlay! Touch typing means typing without looking at the keyboard. Your fingers will learn to find every key on their own. Keep your eyes on the screen, sit up straight, and let the lessons guide you one key at a time.
- Muscle Memory. Every correct keystroke strengthens the pathway in your brain. Every wrong one strengthens a bad habit. Type slowly and accurately at first — speed is a side effect of precision, not the other way around.
