Lesson 6: Learning the keyswgcomma (,)
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. Place the mouse pointer into the practice box, left click, and begin typing.
Keep eyes on monitor screen and 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 Backspace, left arrow, or Delete key serves no useful purpose and will hinder your keyboard learning. Correcting errors with Backspace or Delete key is for word processing - not for learning the keyboard. Typing errors cannot be corrected using backspace, delete, or arrow keys.
