You will find that if you have assigned fingers to certain keys then you will learn much more quickly to type without looking (a skill that is extremely valuable when typing) and you will be able to type more quickly. Under no circumstances are you to move your fingers from their home positions (left ring on s left middle on d left pointer on f right pointer on j, right middle on k, right ring on l and right pinky on semicolon / ) unless you are moving let's say your middle finger up one to hit the i key. If you do not buy a program then just follow this two rules and practice a little bit every day.ġ. If you continue to have troubles buy a program for typing (there are countless and many aren't really all that expensive although lots are meant for little kids (it's no big deal if they are because these programs are the best way to learn)) and you should be set, as the practice will be put into small steps that you will learn to do. This time is crucial as you are beginning to train your mind as to what to do when you want to hit the letter a, and if you tell your brain to do the same thing every time you will learn relatively quickly, while if you didn't you might never have learned without lots and LOTS of practice. Although you shouldn't ever have to to use the backspace it is something that will happen eventually. In theory you will never move your hands, although you will most likely have to move them every once in a while to hit the backspace. The whole meaning on this position of your hand is so that you will be able to know where each key is in respect to where you fingers are at all times. You can move over your hand to hit these keys but when you do this, especially during this point in time while you are not familiar with the keyboard, you will have trouble keeping track of where your hand is when you begin to type without looking. It does not matter if you look while you type - BUT - YOU MUST DO YOUR BEST not to move your left hand over when hitting the qaz keys, you must learn to hit them with your left ring. Set time before bed or sometime during the day that you don't do anything EVERY day and practice a little bit during this time.

Line up your fingers in the row that has the asdfghjkl keys with your fingers along the sdfjkl keys (as you won't be able to start off with a finger on the a key as you are missing your left pinky finger) If you haven' yet begun to touch type (typing without having to look at the keyboard) then begin typing and from now on ALWAYS type like this: … What you will have to do is learn to stretch your ring finger out to touch all of the keys that are normally hit by the pinky finger. The method that has been developed with your pointer fingers each beginning on the f and j keys is used by everyone who can type faster than 80 WPM because it is the most efficient means of typing. Whatever you do, do not try to invent a new way to type.
