Tips
on learning to type:
- 1. Say the letter of each key as you type, either
out loud or silently.
2. Repeat each lesson until you feel comfortable with
your control of the keys, before moving to the next lesson. Develop your feel
for the keys before trying to increase your speed. Typing is a physical skill
that requires practice, practice, and more practice. Start with short practice
periods, such as 30 minutes a day, working up to longer periods of practice as
you develop keyboard skills.
