Symbols are best learned when associated with the corresponding home row finger.  Read the paragraph Finger Positions to avoid retyping due to incorrect fingerings for each symbol.  Keep F and J fingers on keys — rotate the hand for each symbol.

No more than 3 errors per line.  Retype the line if more than 3 errors occur.  Observing your typing errors by you and your teacher is an important step toward learning to type and improving accuracy.   Typing errors cannot be corrected using the backspace, delete, or arrow keys.
