Super Typing Wizard introduces the keyboard starting with what is known as the home row - the keys your fingers rest on in the middle of the keyboard. Each key is introduced in a way that makes it easier for you to remember and practice the correct motion. With each exercise, you will get a picture of how your hands should be placed. It's okay if all this is new to you because our wizards will walk you through it.

The first several exercises teach you which fingers are for striking which keys and helps to build your accuracy and speed gradually. You are encouraged to repeat exercises to get comfortable with the keyboard before moving on to actual sentences. Instructional tips are provided to help with your posture and keyboarding skill.

You can always view your progress through the handy reports the program provides. As you improve you can save your scores to track how many errors you're making and how many words per minute you are typing. The reports can also be printed for classroom situations or if you want to keep notes as you go.

The initial exercises are designed to provide the instruction and practice you need to learn the keyboard and develop your typing skills. Later exercises focus on topics to make things more interesting as you increase your speed and accuracy. We encourage you to then create your own exercises. You can use passages from a book or the lyrics of a song just for fun. Or you can use words and phrases from a particular industry like the medical industry, computers/software or legal.
