Are you the slowest typist? Do you have 30 words per minute? Read this article and very soon you will be raising your level to 40 words per minute!

Steps

1. 1 Keep your thumb on the space bar at all times. Do not remove your hands from the space bar, it is better to keep the fingers of both hands on it. If you do this, you will type faster, and you will not need to press Backspace just because you forgot to press the spacebar.
2. 2 Never look at the keyboard. If you do this, you will slowly develop a bad habit. Look at the keyboard only when you start typing a sentence, so you know where your fingers are.
3. 3 It is recommended that you follow the quick print training programs.
4. 4 Use programs that teach you how to type quickly, step by step. With these, you will start out slowly, but will increase your typing speed over time.
5. 5 Keep your wrists on the bottom of the keyboard, if they are hanging in the air, you will not be able to type quickly.

Tips

• Use all fingers, not just two.
• You can use touch typing training programs, but don't get too carried away with them. It is good practice to chat with your friends using instant messengers, as this is how you use different words.
• Try to keep a constant pace rather than typing just familiar words quickly. As you learn, slow down periodically and spend a few minutes practicing typing at a steady pace (one measure = one character). It helps build the muscle memory you need when typing quickly.
• If you make the same mistake when entering certain words or letter combinations, check the position of your hands, and also note the tension in your fingers. You can accidentally press a different letter when you type the desired one.
• Do not think that you will learn to type quickly within a few days, give yourself time from 7 months to a year.
• Remember that pressing the wrong key takes the same amount of time as pressing the correct one.
• Try the QWERTY layout.
• Keep your wrist on the keyboard and lift it up only when the key is far away.
• Don't forget to have fun!
• Use the keyboard copy sheet if it helps you.

Warnings

• If your fingers start to get tired, take a break.
• Sitting at the computer for too long at once can cause health problems. Gradually increase your computer time.
