QWERTY refers to the layout for a standard computer keyboard, and is so-called from the order of the first six keys on the top left letter row of the keyboard. Notice the letters spelling QWERTY in the image of the keyboard below.

The two images show the Home Keys for the left and right hand. They are called the Home Keys because these are the keys your fingers must return to after typing any other key. The first image shows the correct finger position for Home Keys. The second image has colour and number codes for each finger. For example, throughout this course your right index finger is used on all RED keys (also shown as number 1). As you progress through your typing lessons you will learn the correct finger position for all keys.
