How to start learning to type properly
Learning to type is mostly about building a habit, not a skill you rush. Start slowly, use the right fingers and let speed arrive on its own.
Set up before you type
- Sit tall, with your feet flat on the floor and your back supported.
- Keep your wrists floating, not resting on the desk edge.
- Put the screen at eye level so your neck stays relaxed.
- Place your fingers on the home row: A S D F for the left hand and J K L ; for the right.
Accuracy before speed
Every mistake you repeat is practice for the mistake. Slow down until you can type a sentence with almost no errors, and then very gradually increase your pace. Aim for 95% accuracy before you worry about words per minute.
A simple weekly plan
| Week | Focus | Target |

| 2 | Top and bottom row reaches | 90% accuracy on this page |
| 3 | Common short words | 15-20 WPM |
| 4 | Full sentences with capitals | 20-25 WPM at 95% accuracy |
