Tips for this lesson
- 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.
- The Shift Key. To type a capital letter, hold the Shift key with the pinky of the opposite hand. Type an F with your left index? Hold Shift with your right pinky. Opposite hands make capitals smooth and fast.
