SECTION 3 MASTERING THE ALPHABETIC KEYS

U800002, Rev. 1.2, October, 2002

Activity 1 (The Home Row Keys, Space, Hard Return)

Key the following line at least three times - concentrate on stroking technique - use quick

strokes, don't hesitate. Be sure to put a space after each group of letters (press your right

thumb east) and enter a hard return at the end of each line (press your left thumb west). The

first time through the drill, look at the template as you press the keys. For the second and

third attempts, keep your eyes on the text. Do not worry about making errors.

aaa sss ddd fff jjj kkk 111;;; aa ss dd ff jj kk 11;; asdf jkl;

Key the next three lines. When finished

key them again - but push for more speed. Key the

lines again as fast as you can. Don't worry about making errors.
