Think About This:

Alphabetic A-G

Try not to look at the keyboard. It will be difficult at first but as the exercise progresses you will find it becomes easier and your fingers will begin to move without you consciously deciding which finger is associated with which key. You may find it helpful to quietly say the name of the key as you strike it. Don't let your mistakes cause you to lose heart; touch typing is a skill that can be learned by practice.
