How to Turn Basic Typing Abilities Into Advanced Skills

Categories: All About Touch Typing, Typing Tips and Tricks |

Whether you’re starting at the very beginning or just re-training yourself to touch type, you’ll eventually complete all the beginner level exercises available. Once you’re satisfied with what you have accomplished, you can move on to advanced courses where you can focus on activities designed to build upon the basics and help you improve both your touch typing speed and accuracy.

Once your basic training is complete, your fingers know where they’re supposed to be positioned on the home row, and you can type all of the required letters in words and sentences – including punctuation – using the proper fingers, and you rarely need to peek at the keyboard to locate the keys you need. With that basic skill set, you can turn to working on building touch typing speed and touch typing accuracy.

You’ll be happy to know that Typesy offers focused instruction in specific advanced skill building areas. Included in the advanced course are specially designed “fast typing tonics” for working with the regular keyboard, the numeric keypad, and more. Typesy’s Fast Typing Tonics are designed as quick refresher courses that take fifteen minutes or less to complete so you can work on them whenever you have spare time.

Typesy also offers an advanced free study section. This lets you select from a number of activities and games, and allows you to select the text that you would like to practice with. The types of practice text you can choose from include drills, stories, and other types of text blocks.

Note: Even if you can already touch type, you should complete the speed and accuracy tests in Typesy. Typesy may also require you to complete typing speed and accuracy tests so it can track this information for you.
