About this lesson: Top Row Review I
Sequencing top-row reaches with home-row anchors is where typing starts to feel like real words. The challenge is keeping each reach independent so one finger's movement doesn't drag its neighbors.
How to get the most from this drill
- Move one finger at a time; the others should stay planted or hovering over home.
- Common digraphs like 'er', 'ty', and 'ou' deserve deliberate slow practice — they appear constantly.
- Watch for tension in your forearms. Reaching rows should not mean stiff hands.
