Free Keyboard Practice: The Home Row Method

What is the home row?

The home row is the middle row of letter keys: A S D F on the left and J K L ; on the right. Your fingers rest there and return there after every reach. The small bumps on F and J let you find home without looking.

A simple daily plan

• Two minutes: home row warm-up drill.
• Five minutes: the next lesson in your level.
• Three minutes: repeat any lesson where you earned fewer than three stars.

Don't look down

Looking at the keyboard feels faster at first but slows you down later. Use the on-screen keyboard and hand guide instead — they show exactly which finger to use, so your eyes stay on the screen.
