B: Lesson Q1
*:_Q_R_L0
T: Welcome to lesson Q1.
:
:In the Q series of lessons, we will be learning to touch-type on the standard
:keyboard. I will introduce you to each letter on the keyboard, one at a time.
:By the time you have completed this series, you will be able to type the entire
:alphabet, the numbers, and most of the punctuation keys by touch.
:
:If you have never taken any lessons in typing before, please be patient. Typing
:is not difficult but it does take a lot of practice. Avoid the tendency to
:look down at your fingers while typing. This is a very bad habit and is hard
:to break later. If you hit the wrong key, I will let you know. (But, I won't
:tell anyone else, so don't worry about it.)
:
:If you have always used the hunt-and-peck method, you will have an even harder
:time keeping yourself from looking. Don't be surprised if you find touch
:typing slower than your old ways. It may be slower when you first start.
:But, touch typing is far faster once you get the hang of it.
:
:If you can already touch type, you should be able to go through these lessons
:fairly quickly. Or, you may want to go directly to the S series.
*:_Q_R_L1
T:
: The HOME Keys.
:
:In order to hit the correct keys by touch alone, you must always know where your
:fingers are. The way to do this is to have a special place for each finger.
:This key is called the HOME position.
:
:Place the first finger of your right hand on the J-key. Now, place your second
:finger on the K-key, your third finger on the L-key, and your fourth-finger on
:the ;-key (the one with the : and ; on it).
:
:Similarly place the four fingers of your left hand on the F, D, S, and A-keys.
:Place your right thumb over the SPACE bar. (Henceforth, always hit the SPACE
:bar with this thumb.) Now, lift all your fingers slightly so that they are
:poised just over the keys. Each finger should be just barely touching its home
:key. This is an electronic keyboard and does not take much pressure to ac-
:cidentally press the key down.
:
:Above the D-key is the E-key. Above the K-key is the I-key. Learn these
:positions well. Whenever you are about to type a line, look at your fingers and
:make sure they are in the HOME position. Then don't look at them again.
*:_Q_R_L2
T:
: DRILL PATTERNS
:
:For the rest of this lesson, I will display a line of text in the middle of the
:screen and instructions at the top of the screen.
:
:All you have to do is type in the characters that you see in the middle of
:the screen. If you hit the correct key, I will not do anything. If you make
:a mistake, I will display a large X under the letter that you got wrong and
:beep the terminal. In either event, just keep going by typing the next letter.
:
:When you have finished typing the line, hit the RETURN key. To do this, extend
:the little finger of your right hand over to the RETURN key. Hit the key and
:zip the finger back to its home position. Be careful not to let your other
:fingers move far from their home positions in the process. Also, be careful
:not to type an extra space at the end of the line.
:
:If you made no mistakes on the line, I will display the next drill pattern. If
:you did make a mistake, I will beep at you and make you do the line again. If
:on the second try you made more than two mistakes, I will beep again and make
:you try again, etc. Don't forget to use your right thumb for the SPACE bar.
I:(1) Try this:
*:_Q_R_L3
D:asdf ;lkj asdf ;lkj asdf ;lkj asdf ;lkj asdf ;lkj asdf ;lkj
I:Now this (use 'k' finger for 'i' and 'd' finger for 'e'):
*:_Q_R_L4
D:asdef ;lkij asdef ;lkij asdef ;lkij asdef ;lkij asdef ;lkij
I:(2) Some more:

I:(3) Hang in there; let's do some sentences...
:To get capitals use your ';' finger on [right-SHIFT]
*:_Q_R_L6
D:Dad adds a salad A lad asks Salad falls as a lad asks Dad
I:(4) Now try [left-SHIFT] usage (for 'L') and [right-SHIFT]!
*:_Q_R_L7
D:Lease a desk Add a safe deal Ask less fees Add a lease
:Lease a lake Add lake sales Add deeds Flee false deals
I:(5)

:Dad slides all lilies aside Dad is jaded
I:(7)
*:_Q_R_L10
D:Sails fill as Sis sails a safe lake Skill aids Sis Dad
:likes a safe sail Sis seeks a lee isle All sail is
:laid aside Sis feels life is ideal Idle fields lead as
:Sis seeks lilies Sis falls Lilies fade as Sis falls
:Faded sails fill Idle isles slide aside as Sis sails
I:(8)

*:_Q_R_L12
T:
: (h g o u n . t)
:
:In this lesson you learn six new letters (H, G, O, U, N, T) and the period. (.).
:Be sure that the F-finger does not linger on the G-key or the J-finger on the
:H-key. Also be sure to use your fingers as follows:
:
: 'f' for 't' and 'g', 'j' for 'h', 'u' and 'n', finally use 'l' for 'o' and '.'
:
:Note that a period is followed by one space because it's no longer 1957.

:
:What will be different is that I will be timing you. From the time you type
:the first letter of the line until you hit the final carriage return, my
:stopwatch will be running. When you finish, I will calculate your typing speed
:and convert it to words per minute (WPM). I will also count each of the
:mistakes you make and display the total number of errors.
:
:If you make a mistake, I will beep at you and light up the letter that you
:should have typed in inverse video (a black letter on a white background).
