Click here to go to freetypinggame.net for more typing practice. Under the tests tab, you can practice Timed Writings for 3 minutes. Check the box for 1 space after periods, since that is what we will be learning. Lessons 26-35 will give you a wider range of alphabetic keys, but you can always narrow down to specific keys, especially in the beginning stages of the learning process. Happy Typing!
