Learning the keys: v Right-shift
period(.)
Read the paragraphs Position Points and Finger Positions.
Practice typing the letters to be learned - it is okay to look at the
keys during this preview time. Then place the mouse pointer into
the practice box, left click, and begin typing.
Now keep your eyes on the monitor screen and the
keyboard chart.
Do not worry about errors as
you type. Observing your typing errors by you and your teacher is an
important step toward learning to type and improving accuracy. Correcting errors
with the Backspace key or the Delete key serves no useful purpose and may
actually hinder your progress.
