Step 3
Go over the material carefully. Try to use the correct fingering. It will be all too easy to talk yourself into using one finger instead of the correct one. If you start by learning incorrectly the habit will follow you right on. Make sure your hand and finger placement is correct in the beginning. The placements are there for a reason and you will not be able to type as fast if you teach yourself a bad habit. Use proper placement when you learn to type!

Start out one lesson at a time. Don’t try to skip steps or dive in head first. When you learn to type you are basically memorizing the keys this takes time. Take one lesson at a time.

Draw a keyboard on a piece of paper if you don’t have a laptop. Keep the paper in your pocket so you can practice in your free time. This will speed the memorization process up dramatically.
