All about Typing Skills

Good typing uses all your fingers and keeps your eyes on the screen. Regular practice improves speed and accuracy.

Learning correct finger positions makes typing easier.

Each finger has its own home key, and you learn to reach for other keys from there. Practising a little every day helps you type faster and with fewer mistakes.

Good posture also helps. Sit up straight, keep your wrists relaxed and place your screen at eye level. Typing games and short practice sessions make learning to type fun, and the skill is useful for school and for everyday life.
