Making a Capital Letter

Now that you know all the letter keys, let's learn to type them in capitals. To type the capital case of any letter, hold down the shift key while typing the letter key. You will notice there are two shift keys on your keyboard - one on each side. You need to press the shift key with the pinky of the hand opposite the one you are typing the letter with. This way, you can maintain the correct hand poition with your letter typing hand and more easily return to the home row position afterwards. For example: to type a capital A you need to hold the right shift key down with your right pinky while pressing the letter A with your right pinky. Remember to keep practicing without looking at your fingers in order to build muscle memory.
