Read the paragraphs Position Points and Finger Positions.  Practice typing the letters to be learned - it is okay to look at the keys during this preview time.  Then place the mouse pointer into the practice box, left click, and begin typing.  Now keep your eyes on the monitor screen and the keyboard chart.

Do not worry about errors as you type.  Observing your typing errors by you and your teacher is an important step toward learning to type and improving accuracy.  Correcting errors with the Backspace key or the Delete key serves no useful purpose and may actually hinder your progress.
