How to Type

Let us begin with the essentials, typing.

Typing is an important skill that every young one should know. 
If you use any computer, then typing is a required skill.


Posture:  For proper typing style, please keep your back straight with feet on the ground.

Eyes:  In order to properly type efficiently, please keep your eyes on the screen. 
           ( Try to avoid looking at your keyboard while you are typing. )


Fingers:  Before typing, your fingers will begin on the "Home Row" and will designate certain 
              keys to certain fingers. See figure below.
