Top Row Lesson (Q-P)

Moving up to the top row

Once you’re comfortable on the home row, it’s time to reach up to the top row: Q W E R T Y U I O P. Each finger should only stretch to the key in its own column, then return to the home row right after.

Finger	Home row	Top row
Left pinky	A	Q
Left ring	S	W
Left middle	D	E
Left index	F	R, T
Right index	J	Y, U
Right middle	K	I
Right ring	L	O
Right pinky	;	P

Tip

Keep your wrists still while reaching — move only your finger joints. Typing with your wrists instead slows you down and leads to fatigue over time.
