A Scripture-rooted homeschool platform — now two apps
Typing and Scripture, sown early.
FirstSown is two calm, beautiful apps for your homeschool — a typing course and a Bible-memory companion — both built on Scripture, not on cartoons.
Free while we grow · No card required · Unlimited kids
App one — Typing
Typing, sown early.
A calm typing course where every drill is a real verse. Click the panel below and start typing — the demo is the product.
Click here, then just start typing
— Psalm 23:1 (WEB)
One account. Every kid.
Sign in once on the family computer. Each child clicks their name and types — no logging in and out, no per-kid accounts, ever.
One path. Own pace.
Forty-five lessons from the home row to full passages. No grade levels — a six-year-old and a twelve-year-old walk the same road at their own speed.
No games. Real joy.
No zombies, no lasers, no dopamine casino. A satisfying sound on every key, stars for mastery, and family records your kids will genuinely fight over.
The path
Forty-five lessons, one gentle road
No grade levels and no shortcuts — just seventeen stages that grow from a single row of keys into whole passages of Scripture. Here is the whole way, start to finish.
The home row and first reaches — where hands learn to stay still.

Lesson 12
hallelujah
Their first word of praise, typed in full.
Lesson 29
“Jesus wept.”
The first complete verse they can type start to finish.
Lesson 45
The Parable of the Sower
Graduation — the passage this whole course is named for.
App two — Bible Memory
Hidden in their hearts.
Made for families who love Awana. Your children memorize real Scripture by reciting it out loud — the app listens, checks every word, and gently guides the ones they miss. Pre-readers who can't read yet tap any word to hear it. And once a verse is learned, a watering schedule brings it back on day 2, 7, and 30 until it's sealed for life. Three tiers grow with your kids, from first echoes to whole passages.
Press play — this is the real narration
I have hidden your word in my heart, that I might not sin against you.
Psalm 119:11 · World English Bible
They say it out loud
Kids recite each verse into the mic. The app listens word by word, offers gentle retries, and never shows a red X — the encouragement of Awana, at home.
It stays planted
Every learned verse returns on a watering schedule — day 2, day 7, day 30 — until spaced repetition seals it into long-term memory for good.
Rewards worth working for
Kids earn Grain, grow a golden wheat-stalk Banner for each book, and spend at a monthly Market — including real-world rewards you set yourself, like a movie night.
“Behold, a farmer went out to sow.”
— Matthew 13:3 (WEB)
Two crafts, one root. Whether your children are typing a verse or reciting it from memory, every word on the screen is real Scripture — sown early, and meant to last a lifetime.
Questions
The things parents ask first
Which Bible translation do you use?
The World English Bible (WEB) — a public-domain translation in clear, modern English. Every verse your children type is real Scripture, quoted word for word.
Is it really free?
Yes — free while we grow. There is no card to enter and no trial clock. We may add optional family features later, but the typing course itself is free to use today.
What ages is it for?
One path, any age. A confident reader as young as six can begin, and the same road carries them through the teen years. There are no grade levels — everyone simply moves at their own pace.
How many kids can share one account?
As many as you like. One family login holds unlimited child profiles. Each child clicks their own name and types — no logging in and out, no separate accounts to manage.
Do kids need their own email?
No. We ask for a first name only, and we never collect children's data — no email, no ads, and no trackers on their screens. You, the parent, are the only account holder.
How long does it take to learn?
About ten to fifteen minutes a day is plenty. Most children are touch typing — hands on the keys, eyes on the screen — within eight to twelve weeks.
Which translation does Bible Memory use?
The World English Bible (WEB), a public-domain translation. Children memorize the exact text, word for word — never a paraphrase — and pre-readers can tap any word to hear it read aloud.
Does it record my child's voice?
No. When a child recites a verse aloud, the app checks the words in the moment and nothing is ever stored, uploaded, or kept. There is no recording, and no red X — just a gentle nudge to try the next word.
What ages is Bible Memory for?
Three gentle tiers. Pre-readers (about 4–6) tap words to hear them and echo them back; readers (about 7–10) recite whole verses; and 11-and-up work toward mastering entire passages. Every child moves at their own pace.
Two seeds, and more to come.
FirstSown is free while we grow. More homeschool apps are on the way — join the founding families list and we'll write when they sprout.
