Posture is important. Sit with your back straight, in a comfortable position with both your feet flat on the floor.Your elbows should be slightly ahead of the side of your body when your curved fingers are on the home row.The home row keys consist of the letters a s d f and j k l ; .

Keep your elbows close to your side and your wrists straight.Fingers must be curved as they would be when your arm is loosely hanging by your side. Press the keys smartly and firmly with the tip of the appropriate finger.

Your fingers should hover over the home row keys, lightly touching the tops of thekeys. Anchor at least one finger on its home row key, usually the ‘a’ or the ‘;’ (semicolon)key, when typing keys in other rows. Always return your fingers to the home row.

Is TYPEQUICK for you?

Typequick For Students is an animated, multimedia adventure designed to keep studentsentertained for the ten hours it takes to learn to touch type with ten fingers.The compelling,interactive story and text exercises are so much fun that students enjoy using the courseand more importantly finish it. Students learn at their own pace moving from route to routeas they learn all the keys of the alpha-numeric keyboard. Records are kept of each lessonmaking assessment easy and progress obvious.

Useful Tips:

I’ll be your travelling partner for this amazing typing journey to the…(Drumroll)…Kingdom of Eaz.

You can't even begin to imagine the adventures we'll share. I wish I’dhad a travelling partner when I learned to type – no-one believedany of my experiences. Not to mention that it would’ve been funlearning with someone else! At least this time we can cruise up croc-infested rivers together, and bags you try any weird foods before me – it was impossibleto convince anyone that I only liked gum leaves, so I had to eat a witchetty grub with this goanna one day, and Bogong Moths while travelling at night to Rainbow Beach –

totally gross!

Nah, most of it’ll be really cool – we get to ride different animalsover the 10 wickedest routes in Australia.We can travel under

the stars through the middle of the desert, and on the waycollect enough magic keystones to build a keyboard.Not bad, eh? And, just to top it off, if we manage to find allthe keystones, we’ll get to meet Wise Fella, who lives in theKingdom of Eaz – and I’m not even going to bother tellingyou about that place – it’s just way too cool.
