Bottom Row Typing Lesson: V and M Keys
These are the last reaches for your index fingers. V and M are typed by reaching the index finger down to the bottom row.
After this lesson your index fingers will be fully trained on all their assigned keys. V and M let you type words like move, very, and steam.
What You Learn In This Lesson
V and M complete the index finger key set. After this lesson, all future keys will be assigned to the middle, ring, and pinky fingers.

Finger Guide
These are the exact finger assignments for this lesson. Keep the rest of your fingers relaxed and avoid lifting the whole hand.
V Left index finger (reach down from F)
M Right index finger (reach down from J)
How To Practice
Start on the home row with index fingers on F and J.
Curl the left index finger down to V and back to F.
Curl the right index finger down to M and back to J.
Mix V and M with all previously learned keys for realistic word practice.
Common Beginner Mistakes
Confusing V with B
V and B are adjacent on the bottom row, both typed by the left index finger. V is directly below F; B is further to the right.
Confusing M with N
M and N are adjacent on the bottom row, both typed by the right index finger. M is directly below J; N is further to the left.
Overloading the index finger
The index fingers handle many keys. If fatigue sets in, take a short break and shake out your hands.
Skipping the return step
With so many reaches, it is tempting to stay on the bottom row. Always return to F and J.
What Comes Next
The next lesson goes back to the top row to learn W and O with your ring fingers. After that you will know all five vowels.
