If you want to utilize PC for school, lettering, industry, or just e-mail, learning how to type quicker will save time. A fast typist can type 90 or 100 words a minute, or quicker. It takes more practice to reach that speed, but everybody can develop and learn to type quicker. Here is shown how:

Instructions

1. Step 1

Study to touch type. If you should see hands, then it is not touch typing. If you are using two-finger technique, learn touch typing with a keyboarding program on PC or even an old textbook. It is simple. The major theory is to place four fingers of every hand on home row of keys and type space bar with thumb. On a standard keyboard, left hand fingers type a, s, d, f, and right hand fingers type j, k l, ;. Then you type other keys with closest finger. That really is all there is to it.

2. Step 2

Practice daily. Copy easy ways so you can learn keyboard and develop speed. See book or paper you are copying, not at your hands or keyboard. In starting, try for a normal, even rhythm before speed. Then build up speed slowly.

3. Step 3

Be cautious not to spell words out loud when you type. Try not to speak unclearly or think every letter, either. Spelling words will slow you down.

4. Step 4

As you develop, try to think and type small words or syllables as one unit. The thought is to type as you read, in syllables or chunks. Practice typing bigger units as one "thought." This will catch you to medium speed and even further than.

5. Step 5

Practice typing repeatedly with good routine. Use good routine when you do homework, write e-mail, or write for Internet. If you do not observe fingers and type by words or syllables, you will soon be able to type much faster.
