Capitalization & Shift Key Lesson

Learn to use the Shift key with the right finger to quickly type proper nouns and sentence starts.

What This Capitalization & Shift Key Lesson Covers

This free online typing lesson focuses on the Shift key with the opposite hand while typing capital letters and proper nouns. You type a fixed passage in the browser with no countdown timer, so you can prioritize accuracy before speed — the same approach used in professional touch typing courses.

Whether you are learning touch typing for school, work, or daily computer use, structured capitalization & shift key practice builds muscle memory faster than random word drills alone.

How to Get the Most From This Lesson

Hold Shift with the pinky of the hand opposite the letter — never reach across with the same hand.

Repeat the passage until you can finish with high accuracy, then move to the next lesson in the series. Browse all free typing lessons on the hub page to follow the full beginner-to-advanced curriculum.
