Touch Typing Lesson 1: Learn to Type D & E Keys

This typing lesson will teach you how to touch type with the D and E keys. Both capital and lower-case letters are included in this lesson. To type a capital, hit shift at the same time as you hit the letter. If you already know the keyboard, try our our alphabet drills or misspelled words drills for more relevant practice exercises.

Instructions:

  • Begin with your fingers on the home row (see image below). The home row is the middle row of letters on your keyboard. Your left index finger rests on the 'F' key, and your right index finger rests on the 'J' key. These keys are usually marked with a raised dot or dash to help you find the keys without looking. The rest of your fingers line up in the adjacent keys - shown highlighted in the illustration below.
