In our Shift keys typing lesson, we really focus on showing students the right way to use the Shift keys for capitalization and typing symbols. This is super important for kids from the first grade all the way to the eighth grade because it’s super important for writing and communication.

Now, you might be wondering, which finger do you use for which Shift key? Well, your left pinky handles the left Shift key and your right pinky the right Shift key. As the students get the hang of it and start playing around with different letters and symbols, they’ll naturally learn to use the right Shift key just by knowing where their hands are.

Having that mastery with the Shift keys helps learners write more successfully by improving their typing speed and increasing their comfort level with punctuation and special characters. Students will be able to type capital letters and symbols with ease and without disrupting their typing flow thanks to this lesson.

As they become more skilled typists, students can advance beyond simple typing and acquire the abilities necessary to type more complex documents by focusing on the Shift keys. This will boost their typing accuracy and speed.
