Syllabus
- Warm-up: every row Short sentences that visit the top, home, bottom and number rows.
- Common letter pairs th, he, in, er, an and other pairs that appear most often in English. Learning each pair as one movement makes you faster.
- Common word endings Words with frequent endings such as -ing, -tion, -ment, -ful and -ly.
- Alternating-hand words Words typed with the left and right hands in turn. These are the fastest words to type, so push your speed with an even rhythm.
- One-hand words Words typed with only one hand. Using the same hand over and over slows you down, so put accuracy first.
- Long words Type long words in syllable-sized chunks, without stopping in the middle.
- Notes and schedules Work notes where capitals, numbers and symbols mix naturally.
- A recipe Lots of quantities and step numbers. Keep your eyes off the number row.
- News style A news-style passage with names, figures and quotes. Keep your rhythm.
- A story A story with dialogue. Ride the flow of the sentences, even through quotes and commas.
- An explanation A slightly formal explanatory text. Hold your pace through longer words.
- A team update A work email with a numbered list and symbols. Don't slow down for them.
- A report full of figures A report packed with percentages, amounts and dates. Reach for the number row accurately.
- Endurance 1: a long passage Keep the same pace all the way through a longer passage. Stay relaxed even as you tire.
- Endurance 2: a longer passage An even longer passage. Focus less on speed and more on not letting mistakes creep in toward the end.
- Advanced wrap-up A passage that uses every key. Finish it at the target speed to clear the advanced course, then try the exam & contest challenge.
