Typing tests. 1 minute typing tips for sports topics.

Smile! It releases tensions and makes for a happy environment when learning touch typing.

Take care with when keying the home row keys. The home row exercises are simple and you might be tempted to skip them. However these are very important exercises because you are beginning to train your fingers in the correct keystroke reaches.

More practice? If you feel you need more practice on the home-row keys, or for that matter, any exercise, type the exercise again. The computer is a patient but demanding teacher. Practice each exercise several times until you are satisfied with your skills. Only go to the next exercise in a series when you feel comfortable with what you have accomplished.

Check your hands! Your fingers should be on the home-row keys and your hands should slant at the same angle as the keyboard. Do not let your wrists become lazy and rest against the desk or the keyboard.

Whisper. Whisper each letter as you use a quick stroke to strike and bounce off keys. Do not press or mush the key. Quickly strike the key; bounce off the key, and return your finger to their assigned home row location.

Healthy typing. Go to the section in this www.nimblefingers.com web site and try the physical exercises onfinger dexterity exercises and stretching. It is a moral boster.

Practice. Many learners, particularly begining computer users, become very tense when using the computers. Tensions should be reduced so that learning is fun.

The two-step? Check out the finger dexterity called the two-step.

Type smooth! Type at a smooth, easy pace.

Re-key an exercise if you are not satisfied. After completing the beginning exercises, using the correct finger should be automatic. If you still have to look at the keyboard when you type a particular key, rerun the appropriate exercise.

Errors will happen. When a typing error is made, retype the key immediately! Don’t think about it, your brain knows it didn’t communicate correctly with your finger. Just retype the key and move on!

Relax. Concentrate, but try not to be tense. Move around in your chair.

Improve your posture. Poor posture is tiring and leads to typing errors. It is important not to slouch in your chair. Keep feet flat on the floor.
