To type means to press the keys or letters. This puts words on your screen.

On a phone, a keyboard pops up when you tap a box. On a computer, you use the keyboard in front of you.

There is no rush. You can type slowly with one finger. That works just fine.

Try this
  1. Tap or click the box where you want to write.
  2. Press the letters one at a time to spell your words.
  3. Use the space key to put gaps between words.
