Practicing F and J with Space

Kickstart your touch typing journey on TouchTyping.online by mastering the F and J keys, the cornerstones of the home row. These keys feature tactile bumps, allowing your index fingers to locate them without looking, fostering muscle memory for blind typing. Place your left index finger on F and your right index finger on J, with other fingers resting on A, S, D and J, K, L, ; respectively. Use either thumb for the spacebar, choosing the one that feels most natural.

Accuracy is key at this stage. Type each sequence slowly, ensuring your fingers return to the home row after every keystroke. The practice items include patterns like ‘fj fj fj fj’ and ‘jf jf jf jf’ to build familiarity, along with simple words like ‘if’ and ‘fig’ to reinforce muscle memory.
