eginner Typing Lesson 1 - Part 1 (Home Keys and Basic Drills)

HOME KEYS AND CORRECT FINGER POSITION

The two images below shows the Home Keys for the left and right hand. They are called the Home Keys because these are the keys your fingers must return to after typing any other key. The first image shows correct finger position for Home Keys. The second image has colour and number codes for each finger. For example, throughout this course your right index finger is used on all RED keys (also shown as number 1). Most keyboards have small bumps on the F and J keys to help you find them without looking. As you progress through your typing lessons you will learn the correct finger position for all keys.
