How to type on a keyboard

Do you want to learn how to type on a keyboard? Here are some tips:

Sit Comfortably Sit up straight with your feet flat on the ground and your elbows at the right angle.
Find the Home Row On a QWERTY keyboard, place your fingers on the middle row of keys: left hand on A, S, D, F, and right hand on J, K, L, and ; (semicolon). Your thumbs can rest on the space bar.
Use All Your Fingers Try using all ten fingers to type. It helps you type faster and more easily.
Don’t Look at the Keys Try to type without looking at the keyboard. This helps you get better and type more quickly.
Practice Often The more you practice, the better you’ll get! You can play typing games or do fun exercises to help you improve.
If you're not using a QWERTY keyboard, the home row keys might be in different spots. For a Dvorak keyboard, place your left-hand fingers on A, O, E, and U, and your right-hand fingers on H, T, N, and S. Rest your thumbs on the space bar.
