LET'S TYPE!

To start typing, put your fingers on the home row keys as shown below:

Find the space bar on the keyboard. This is the longest bar on the bottom row of the keyboard.

Your thumbs should be resting on the space bar.

Use the enter key to move on to the next line. Press the ‘enter’ key with the little finger of your right hand at the end of each line. Try to keep your eyes on the copy, not on your fingers. It’s a good idea to say each letter as you type it.

You should try and remember the position of the letters by heart.
