Practicing G and H with Space
Mastering the Home Row Keys • Lesson 2
Learning Objectives
Practicing G and H with Space
Next, focus on the G and H keys, which are also controlled by your index fingers. Use your left index finger for G and your right index finger for H, keeping other fingers on their home row positions (A, S, D, F and J, K, L, ;). Press the spacebar with your preferred thumb. These keys expand your reach beyond F and J, helping you build coordination and confidence in touch typing.
Prioritize accuracy as you practice sequences like ‘gh gh gh gh’ and ‘hg hg hg hg,’ along with words such as ‘high’ and ‘hid.’ Always return your fingers to the home row after each keystroke to reinforce muscle memory. TouchTyping.online’s interactive platform provides real-time feedback, with navigation buttons below and a progress bar above to track your advancement. Mark this lesson complete when you’re comfortable with these keys.
If errors occur, slow down and focus on correct finger placement. Regular practice with these exercises on TouchTyping.online will make G and H second nature, preparing you for more complex key combinations.
