T O U C H  T Y P I N G:  M A S T E R  T H E K E Y B O A R D 

It’s never too late to learn to type the correct way! Enhance your typing skills for essays, lessons, stories, assignments, coding, and more.

In this four-lesson introduction to keyboarding, students will explore the computer keyboard and learn touch typing—typing without looking at the keys. This class will build a solid foundation of correct typing techniques, covering all letter keys and punctuation, and utilizing all ten fingers. Our goal is to introduce proper techniques and guide learners through practice sessions to build muscle memory for efficient typing.

Students will start with the home row keys and progress to the middle and top row keys. Emphasis will be on proper finger placement, posture, and technique to develop efficient typing habits. Engaging in various practice exercises, students will reinforce their skills and improve speed and accuracy. By the end of this course, students will have a strong foundation in touch typing.

  💻 Laying the Foundation: Learn the correct finger positions and movements for each key.
  💻 Correcting Mistakes: Understand the importance of accuracy and learn to recognize and correct typing errors.
  💻 Strengthening Muscle Memory: Through repetition, consolidate correct typing techniques into muscle memory for effortless typing.

Our goal is for learners to progress through as many letters of the alphabet as possible in this beginner-level class. Each student learns at their own pace, with accuracy being the primary focus.
