The space bar is the fastest, most important, and most frequently used key on the keyboard so it should be the key that you practice most often although it tends to be significantly underemphasized in typing classes as I stated in the previous chapter. If you're going to drill anything, focusing on your spacing speed would probably be the most efficient thing you can do, and certainly more efficient than focusing on the home row. In order to master spacing, you need to focus on learning how to position your fingers at the correct angles between the space bar and any other letter, particularly since the space bar is on its own row and switching rows will often slow you down. A particular emphasis needs to be placed on minimizing time between the space bar and the S because the S both starts and ends more words than any other letter, which makes minimizing the time it takes to make the S-space digraph extremely important. Developing more efficient methods to move from the space bar to the letters that frequently start or end words is one of the best uses of your time when learning to type and generally is not something people are trained to focus on in typing drills.🏁
