Ash on the A Key

On the Home Row lives Ash, a friendly little key-friend who sits on the A key. Ash is the home for your left pinky — the smallest finger on your left hand.

Here’s Ash’s job: your left pinky rests gently on A, and no matter where it flies off to type another letter, it always comes back home to A. That’s why A is called a home key.

Can you find Ash? Put your left pinky on the A key. Feel it sit there, comfy and ready. That’s home!

Say it with Ash: “Left pinky reaches, soft and small — Ash on A starts it all.”

Every finger has one home key to come back to, and Ash is the very first. Rest your pinky on A, and you’ve begun. Welcome home!
