LEARN TO TYPE

WITH KARL AND TOM

PART I – The home keys

Hi Karl. How are you?

I’m great Tom. How are you?

I’m worried. I have a typing test and I don’t know where to start!!!

That’s easy. You need to start by learning the home

keys.

What are the home keys?

Let me explain…

The home keys

When you are ready to type, your fingers should rest on the

home keys.

The left pinky is on the ‘A’.

The right pinky is on the ‘:’.

The left ring finger is on the ‘S’.

The right ring finger is on the ‘L’.

The left middle finger is on the ‘D’.

The right middle finger is on the ‘K’.

The left index finger is on the ‘F’.

The right index finger is on the ‘J’.

The thumbs are on the space bar.

Thanks Karl. That’s a great start.

That’s my pleasure Tom.

Go over the home keys again.

I’ll teach you about the top row in the next lesson.
