Lesson 3: Bottom Row, Numbers and Punctuation

The bottom row completes the alphabet, and the number row is essential for exam passages that include dates, section numbers and figures. Reach down for the bottom row by curling your fingers; reach up two rows for numbers, keeping your wrist still.

Tips

  • B is typed by the left index finger, N by the right — beginners often mix them up.
  • For numbers, use the finger directly below on the home row: F for 4 and 5, J for 6 and 7.
  • Practise full stops and commas; they are counted as characters in exams.
