What your child will learn
- Type every letter, number and common punctuation mark without looking at the keys
- Use the right finger for each key and return to the home row
- Type capitals, quotation marks and Bible references (chapter and verse) correctly

- The AscentThe top row: e and i, r and u, t and y, w and o, q and p
- The DepthsThe bottom row: n and m, v and b, c and the comma, x and the period, z and the apostrophe
- ProclamationThe shift keys with names, first whole verses, quotes, questions and exclamations
- Chapter & VerseThe number row, chapter-and-verse references, ranges and lists
- FluencyShort sayings, wisdom lines, Gospel and Epistle lines, long verses, and Psalm 23 for endurance
Before you start
None. A child who can read short words is ready; the first lessons are single letters.
Pace and workload
Self-paced, one lesson at a time. Each lesson sets a speed and accuracy target to pass (8 words a minute at 88% in Lesson 1). Seven speed tests check progress along the way.
What you need
A computer with a physical keyboard. Sound is optional (lesson introductions are read aloud).
Faith in this tool
The practice text is Scripture: verses and 15 longer passages, from Psalm 23 to Lamentations 3, quoted exactly as written in the English Standard Version (used by permission).
How learning is checked
A lesson is passed by meeting its speed and accuracy target, and seven speed tests along the way record words per minute and accuracy. There are no grades; you decide what the results mean for your records.

A sample
Lesson 1, The Anchor Keys: “Rest your left index finger on F and your right index finger on J. Feel the small bumps? Those bumps let you find home without looking.” Then short lines of f and j, until the target is met.
Starting and saving progress
Press Start typing and type a first name: that is all a child needs. Progress stays in this browser on this device. If a parent signs in to My Homeschool, progress is copied to the family account so it follows the child to other devices (privacy policy). During the beta, creating that account needs an invite code (request one); the tool itself needs none. Every learning tool is free while the site is in beta.
