Reach from home position to Q W E R T and Y U I O P.

This lesson teaches the standard US QWERTY keyboard layout.

Eight rounds move from small top-row reaches to real lowercase words and phrases. You can finish over several visits; completed rounds are kept on this browser.

For finger-placement training, WordsFlare works best with a physical keyboard. You can still continue on this device.
