When you complete Lesson 1-B, Review 1 begins. In this section, you type words that use the letters covered in Lessons 1-A and 1-B. When you successfully complete Review 1, you might enjoy trying Level 1 of the Game. Press '''BEGIN''' to return to the Touch Typing Tutor selection list, and then press '''3''' for the GAME. Read the instructions; then select Level 1 and get ready to type! (See the explanation for the Game on page 20.)
All of the letter keys are covered in Levels 1 through 3. When you have completed the Lessons and Reviews in Levels 1 through 3, if you are typing at least 25 words per minute, go on to the Diagnostic section to analyze your new typing skills. If your typing speed is less than 25 words per minute, try practicing the Reviews in Levels 1 through 3 again.
====For The Reviewer====
If you already know how to touch-type, begin with the DIAGNOSTIC option. When the Touch Typing Tutor selection list is on the screen, press '''2''' for DIAGNOSTIC. Then press '''1''' to select WPM TIMING from the Diagnostic selection list. (See the explanation beginning on page 16.)
First, take several warm-up timings. Then, press '''BACK''' and select WPM TIMING again. After you have taken additional timings, a Target WPM is established for you. Change the target if you like; then return to the Diagnostic selection list by pressing '''BACK'''. (See page 17 for instructions on changing your Target WPM.)
Press 2 to select ANALYSIS, and then press 1 for LETTERS. Perform
the Keystroke Analysis as explained on page 18. The final Analysis
screen identifies the keys that need more practice. Take note of these
keys and the lessons that cover them.
Press '''BACK''' to return to the Diagnostic selection list, and press '''3''' for PRACTICE. Again, select LETTERS. This section allows you to practice individual keys, emphasizing the keys identified in the Keystroke Analysis as needing practice.
Next, return to the Touch Typing Tutor selection list by pressing '''BEGIN'''. Select LESSONS, and perform the lessons which cover the keys that were listed at the conclusion of the Analysis section.
For some fun practice, go to the Game (press '''3''' on the Touch Typing Tutor selection list), and select the level corresponding to the lessons you have just performed.
Next, work through the lessons on numbers and symbols (Levels 5 through 8). Then, work through the Diagnostic section as described above, selecting NUMBERS or SYMBOLS for the Analysis and Practice portions of the section.
