In their basic position, your fingers rest on the middle row of the keyboard - also called the "home row". The home row is the base from which all other keys can be reached.

Now place your fingers on the home row:
1. Put your left hand fingers on keys A S D F (see picture).
2. Put your right hand fingers on keys J K L ;
3. Let the thumbs rest lightly on the space bar
4. Keep your wrists straight and fingers lightly curled

Tip! Can you feel small bumps on the F and J keys? They are there to help you find the home row keys without looking at your hands.
