Touch Typing - Lesson 5 - The Shift Keys
Touch Typing:
Learning to touch-type is one of the most
valuable and frequently used skills you'll ever learn.
Lesson 5:
It is now time to cover the number row of the keyboard. This row is the furthest from the home row so can be challenging so it is important to keep your hands in the correct position.
e.g. If you are to type a capital E, strike the E key
with the index finger of your left hand and hold down
the shift key with the little finger of your right hand.
Finger
Keys
Left Index 4,5
Left Middle 3
Left Ring 2
Left Little 1
Right Index 6,7
Right Middle 8
Right Ring 9
Right Little 0
Before you begin typing, ensure you are sitting in the
correct position. You back must be straight and both
feet flat on the floor or pedestal. Your wrists are
slightly raised and are not resting on your desk.
Now with your fingers on the home keys type the
following:
