Hi!
If you know how to touch type then just practice typing everyday and focus on accuracy rather than speed and your speed will increase gradually. When I started touch typing, my speed was around 30 wpm but now I am able to type at 70 wpm at average. So just practice and you’ll achieve the 100 wpm mark

Hello, @anitaprice!
The good news is that improving your typing ability is easy! The not so great news is that it takes time, patience, and dedication. The key is to practice, practice, practice!
If you commit yourself to daily practice, you’ll find your touch typing skills will increase dramatically within a matter of weeks. Even if you have mastered the ability, the only way to improve further is to keep practicing!
