A simple way to learn touch typing
This 60-lesson course moves from home-row keys through letters, capitals, numbers, punctuation and symbols, then into paragraphs, office and academic typing. Each stage reviews earlier keys, so you build keyboard familiarity step by step.
Keep your eyes on the lesson text and use the onscreen keyboard and hand guide when you need help. Begin with comfortable, accurate movement; speed can develop with regular practice. Your lesson results show WPM, accuracy and errors so you can decide what to practise again.
For extra help, read the finger placement guide or compare the hand guide styles. When you are ready, try a typing test or use Typing Speed Improver for focused work on weak keys.
