TRAIN YOUR
FINGERS.
Speed comes from using the right finger without looking down. Learn the home row first, then let accuracy turn into muscle memory.

Start on the home row.
Left hand rests on A S D F. Right hand rests on J K L ;. Feel the small bumps on F and J—they guide you without looking.

THE METHOD.
Touch typing is not about moving faster at first. It is about giving every key a permanent finger, returning to the home row, and looking at the screen instead of the keyboard.
Curve your fingers
Keep fingers relaxed and slightly curved. Hover over the keys; do not press your wrists into the desk.
Reach, then return
Move only the assigned finger to a nearby key and bring it straight back to its home-row position.
Use your thumb
Press Space with whichever thumb feels natural while keeping both hands relaxed.
FINGER MAP.
Each finger owns a vertical zone. The index fingers handle two columns because they are stronger and more flexible.

PRACTICE.
Small habits create more speed than forcing your hands. Build clean movements first and the WPM will follow.
Accuracy before speed
Aim for at least 95% accuracy. Fast mistakes train the wrong movement.
Look at the screen
Do not look at the keyboard. Keep your eyes on the screen and cover your hands if you need help breaking the habit.
Use a light touch
Heavy strikes waste energy and make long sessions tiring.
Practice 10 minutes
Short daily sessions beat one exhausting weekly session.
Relax shoulders
Keep elbows near 90 degrees, wrists neutral, and screen near eye level.
Fix weak combinations
Repeat patterns such as “tion” or “ing” slowly until automatic.
Keep a rhythm
Use an even beat instead of sudden bursts for steadier accuracy.
Do not chase WPM
Speed comes from fewer pauses, not frantic key presses.
Review progress
Compare weeks, not single bad runs. Look for the long-term trend.
Ready for a clean practice run?
Start with 30 seconds. Keep your eyes on the words, return every finger home, and choose accuracy over speed.
