Foundation — Posture, Position & the Home Row

A note from your teacher
Cathy Mas
Hi, I'm so glad you're here — because teaching typing at home was one of the most surprisingly rewarding things I ever added to our homeschool routine. I'm a veteran homeschooling parent and curriculum designer, and I built this course after spending years frustrated by typing programs that were either too game-y to actually teach proper technique, or too rigid to fit into our family's day. I went back to basics: how do typing teachers in the best school programs actually structure this skill? Then I rebuilt it entirely for the home environment. Every lesson in this course is something I have personally used with my own kids and refined based on real feedback from other homeschooling families. I can't wait to hear about the moment your child types their first full sentence without looking down — it's genuinely magical.
