The touch typing chart is designed to aid the beginner to learn properly the modern method of typing by touch. Proper posture is a prerequisite of good typing. Sit erect with your feet placed flat on the floor. Sloppiness means bad typing leading to the straying of your fingers from the HOME KEYS: a, s, d, f for the left hand and:;, l, k, i, for the right hand. Learn to type by looking at the copy only without looking at the keys ......... a bad habit will form unless you restrain yourself from constantly peeking at the keys.
Be sure to strike the letters with the finger as indicated on the chart.
From the HOME KEYS, you can strike any key without straying away from the HOME KEYS as long as you strike with the proper finger.
Strike crisply and accurately. Once the positions of the keys are firmly set in mind, then strive for speed. Constant practice and following the rules will develop speed and typing will become a pleasure and not a task.
