Using a Pangram for Typing Practice
A user begins by placing fingers on the middle row of keys, then typing the following words, using successive letters of the pangram and fingers indicated in brackets.
- THE: T (left index), H (right index), E (left middle)
- QUICK: Q (left pinky), U (right index), I (right middle), C (left middle), K (right middle)
- BROWN: B (left index), R (left index), O (right ring), W (left ring), N (right index)
- FOX: F (left index), O (right ring), X (left ring)
- JUMPS: J (right index), U (right index), M (right index), P (right pinky), S (left ring)
- OVER: O (right ring), V (left index), E (left middle), R (left index)
- THE: T (left index), H (right index), E (left middle)
- LAZY: L (right ring), A (left pinky), Z (left pinkie), Y (right index)
- DOG: D (left middle), O (right ring), G (left index)
This sentence should be typed 5-10 times daily. A good rule of thumb is for users to start slowly and strive for accuracy over speed. Once letter locations are completely familiar, speed will naturally follow.
A few minutes each day of typing practice will go a long way in honing typing skills, helping individuals to transition from slower "look and peck" to actual speedy typing.
