Touch Typing Lesson: Practicing T and Y with Space and Home Row
Mastering T and Y in touch typing is an important step in your typing journey. Both keys are typed using your index fingers:
- Your left index finger presses T (just above F).
- Your right index finger presses Y (just above J).
Keep all other fingers on the home row keys (A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, ;) and use your preferred thumb for the spacebar. This lesson combines upper-row and home-row keys to improve coordination and accuracy.
Practice Exercises for T and Y
To strengthen your muscle memory, practice typing simple patterns and words:
- Sequences:

Always return to the home row position after each keystroke to build consistency.
