About this lesson: Recovery: Reach Keys
These drills concentrate on the keys that statistics say most typists handle worst — pinky reaches, bottom-row stretches, and rare letters that never get enough natural practice. Targeted work on weak keys raises overall speed more than general practice.
How to get the most from this drill
- Slow, deliberate, perfect: weak keys need correct repetitions, not many repetitions.
- Pay attention to the return motion — weak keys are usually weak because the reach is unfamiliar.
- Re-test yourself on normal text afterward; the payoff shows up in passages, not in the drill.
