Numbers 1 to 5
Lesson eighteen. Numbers live on the top row, a long reach away. Your left hand types 1 to 5. Reach up, press, and come home again.
Keys in this lesson:
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
Tip: 1 is for the left little finger, 2 ring, 3 middle, 4 and 5 for the pointer finger.
Ready? Sit up tall with your feet flat, put your fingers on the home row, and look at the screen, not your hands. Have a break after about 15 minutes.
The typing tutor needs JavaScript switched on in your browser.
For grown-ups
There are 4 short exercises. The tutor waits for the right key, so mistakes cannot pile up, and it shows accuracy and words per minute at the end of each one. The mini test is passed at 90% accuracy. Speed is not part of the pass mark unless you switch on Speed goals (goal for this lesson: 10 words per minute). Progress is saved only in this browser.
