The five-minute typing starter

Hands on home row

Pupils find F and J by feel and type the eight home keys. No timer, no score: the point is where the hands are, not what the screen says.

Two new keys

The lesson introduces one pair of keys and drills them inside real words, not abstract strings.

Mixed drill

Everything learned so far, shuffled. Mistakes repeat until they stop being mistakes.

Timed run

Sixty seconds against the clock. The score writes itself to the class sheet as each pupil finishes.
