3. Now that you are feeling comfortable with the Home Row
and Top Row keys, we will move to the Bottom Row. We
will start out with the index fingers reaching down to
the V and M keys.

4. Time for your first punctuation! Using your middle finger,
reach down to the C and , (comma) keys. Practice this a few
times before starting the lesson.

5. Moving on down the keyboard, you will now be introduced
to the X and . keys. While the X is not a common letter, you
will be typing the . key plenty, so this is a great exercise to
practice.

6. It is pinky time! You will now be typing Z and / (a.k.a.
slash or forward slash). These are two of the hardest keys to
type, so feel free to practice this one multiple times!
Luckily you don't need to type them very often.

7. Now that you are worked all your fingers out, we will be
moving back to the index fingers to learn the B and N keys.

8. Now that you have practiced each finger individually, you
will be practicing all the bottom row keys mixed together.
Make sure you are keeping any finger that is not actively
reaching for a key on the Home Row at all times!

9. It's time to shift things into gear. This lesson is going to
teach you to capitalize letters on your keyboard. To make a
letter uppercase, hold down the SHIFT key while pressing
the letter key. It is that simple! The tip of the day is to shift
with the hand opposite of the hand that is typing the
uppercase letter. So if you type an uppercase F, you should
use your right hand shift.
