Tips for this lesson
- The Number Row. The numbers sit right above the letters. Reach up from the home row without moving your hands: 1 and 0 for the pinkies, 2 and 9 for the ring fingers, and so on. Look away from the keyboard and let your fingers count.
- Using Ten Fingers. Every finger has its own keys. The index fingers handle six keys each, the middle and ring fingers two each, and the pinkies take the rest. Using all ten fingers spreads the work evenly and builds real speed.
