Sentence typing practice

Sentences start on Road 3 of the game. All 100 lessons are free to start.

Type one story sentence after another. Capitals use Shift, and each sentence ends with its mark.

What you type

Real sentences from little stories, with a capital at the start and a period, question mark or exclamation point at the end. Two from the game:

Zoom! The race car took the turn and passed the truck. Ivy drew a purple whale with a big grin.

Choose Story lines for about two sentences a lap, or Longer laps for about three.

How to type a capital letter

Hold Shift with the pinky of the other hand, press the letter, then let go of both. For a capital on the left side of the keyboard, such as A or T, the right pinky holds Shift. For one on the right side, such as I or M, the left pinky does. The keyboard above lights the Shift key to use.

From words to sentences

Sentences add two things to word practice: capitals and end marks. If Shift is new, start with capital letters. The punctuation page takes one mark at a time. For a single sentence against the clock, try the quick brown fox typing test. When sentences feel smooth, move up to paragraphs.
