How to practice this lesson

  1. Place your fingers on the home-row anchors, F and J, before you begin.
  2. Type slowly enough to use the intended finger for every key and keep your eyes on the screen.
  3. Repeat the exercise until your movement feels controlled, then increase speed without sacrificing accuracy.

This lesson focuses on Shift. After completing it, use a timed typing test to check whether the technique carries over to unfamiliar text.
