Home Row Hero

Home Row Hero teaches the single most important habit in real typing: keeping your fingers on ASDF and JKL;. The game is set in space — obstacles drift toward your ship, each one stamped with a home-row letter, and your job is to type that letter with the correct finger to blast the obstacle before it hits. The game only uses home-row keys, which means kids don't have to hunt across the full keyboard yet. That focus is the whole point. Muscle memory for ASDF JKL; is the foundation every faster game on this site builds on, so spending real time here pays off for years. We recommend this for 1st and 2nd graders who are ready to drop the two-finger hunt-and-peck style and start typing the way grown-ups do.
