Keyboarding is often called typing.

Most keyboards are QWERTY keyboards. A QWERTY keyboard has a specific arrangement of keys in which the first letters of the first row of alphabet keys start with Q, W, E, R, T, and Y.

Touch system keyboarding or touch typing is a method of typing without looking at the keys on the keyboard.

The best method for touch typing using a QWERTY keyboard is called the home row method. In the home row method, each finger is assigned to a group of keys on the keyboard.

For example, the middle finger of the left hand presses the letters E, D, and C. The example image shows you which keys each finger presses.

When a finger isn't typing a key, it returns to its place on the second row of letters on the keyboard. The second line of letters on a keyboard is called the home row.

Using the home row method lets you use all of your fingers to type, not just one or two. Using all of your fingers helps you type more quickly.

It's important to practice using the home row method, so each finger will learn which keys it types, and you'll be able to type without looking at the keys.

On most computers, the letters D and K or F and J have small bumps or grooves on them.

These bumps or grooves help you make sure your fingers are on the right keys, even when you're not looking at the keyboard.
