2. Numbers Row Fluency
Beyond single digits, real writing mixes numbers into sentences constantly: times, addresses, quantities. This lesson builds speed on the number row in context.
Focus: 0-9. Type the drill below at a pace where you can stay accurate. Reaching the lesson target shown below marks this lesson complete. The next-lesson link then appears; lessons can also be opened from the course list.
This is lesson 2 of 5 in the intermediate course. These lessons assume you're already comfortable with the full alphabet, numbers, and basic punctuation from the beginner track; if any of that still feels shaky, it's worth revisiting those lessons first, since intermediate drills build directly on that foundation without re-teaching it.

Practice focus
Switch between prose, digit groups, and separators.
- Read 7:45, 11:30, and 555-0142 as exact character sequences.
- Keep leading digits and separators in place even if another formatting style would be more familiar.
Review your attempt
A reversed digit and a missing colon are different errors. Note which one repeats before choosing number-row or punctuation practice.
