How the course works

Touch typing means typing without looking at the keyboard, with each finger responsible for its own keys. The course starts where your fingers rest, on the home row, and adds one or two keys per lesson. Drills only use keys you have already learned, so you never have to hunt for a key.

• Guided keys: an on-screen keyboard highlights the next key and the finger to use.
• Accuracy first: you pass a lesson at 90% accuracy; stars reward accuracy, then speed.
• Many kinds of practice: warm-ups, patterns, real words, sentences, a falling-keys game, and drills with the keyboard hidden.
• Checkpoints: a one-minute test at the end of each unit shows the row is yours.
• Short and daily: a lesson takes about five minutes; one or two a day is ideal.
