Key features of touch typing training include:
-
Home row positioning: The fingers are initially placed on the home row keys, which are the central keys on the keyboard. From this position, the fingers can reach all other keys on the keyboard.
-
Finger assignment: Each finger is assigned to specific groups of keys based on their natural reach and movement. For example, the left index finger typically covers keys like R, T, F, and G, while the right index finger covers keys like Y, U, H, and J.
-
Typing rhythm: Touch typing involves maintaining a steady rhythm and flow of typing, with minimal interruptions or pauses. This helps to improve typing speed and accuracy.
-
Minimal movement: Touch typing minimizes unnecessary movements of the fingers and hands, allowing for faster and more efficient typing. The goal is to type with fluidity and ease.
