How to type

Sit like this

• Sit tall. Feet on the floor.
• Curve your fingers. Let your wrists float.
• Feel the bumps on F and J. Those bumps are home.
• Keep your eyes on the screen.

The five steps

• Grip finds the new keys.
• Words puts the keys into real words.
• Control adds Shift, capitals, and marks.
• Sentences is a full line. Accuracy first, then speed.
• Test is timed. The clock starts when you type and pauses if you leave the page.

Stars

• Finish the line for 1 star.
• Hit the accuracy goal for 2 stars.
• On sentences and tests, also hit the speed goal for 3 stars.

WPM means words per minute. One word is five letters. Backspace steps back. A wrong key does not move forward. Holding a key does not repeat.

For a capital, hold Shift with the pinky of the other hand, then tap the letter. If Caps Lock is on, turn it off.
