To begin each practice session, place the mouse pointer into the practice box and left click.  The backspace key should not be used to correct errors since checking our keyboard accuracy is the main goal.  Press the Enter key (right little finger) to move the cursor to the next line.  Always practice without looking at the keys.

Keep your hands on the home row keys throughout the number lessons.  The correct finger for typing each number will be referenced to the home row keys.  Avoid moving your hands to the number row - reach from the home row to type each number.
