Early Adopter spots are open—lock in our lowest price for life


Hi Reader!

You can now purchase seats and manage your subscriptions directly in Type the Word!

The Early Adopter offer is still available, and if you join, you’ll lock in our lowest price for life and get every future feature at no extra cost. I’m excited about where Type the Word is headed (like an adaptive memorization management, tradition-specific content, and integrations with popular Bible curriculum providers), and this plan includes all of it.

How to activate your Type the Word plan

You can purchase the seats your school needs from your billing settings.

A few quick notes on how billing works:

  • I set up billing this way because most schools roll Type the Word out by classroom.
  • If a student is in more than one classroom, don’t worry—you’ll only be billed for that student once.
    • For example, if you have 2 classes (one with 15 students and one with 25) and 5 students are in both classes, you’d be billed for 35 total seats (not 40): $175 × 35.
  • You can change which classrooms have access mid-year at no extra cost, as long as your total number of seats doesn’t go up.
  • If you do need to add seats mid-year, you can adjust your plan anytime—we’ll just charge a prorated amount for the additional seats.

A few exceptions

  • If you use Google Classroom without Google Workspace, you can’t manage billing automatically in your Billing settings yet. This is a bit more complicated because it can be tricky to tell who owns each classroom. For now, I’d still suggest becoming an early adopter. You can use the email template in settings by clicking “Request a payment link.” Or, just email me your school name and estimated student count, and I can create your subscription for you.
  • If your billing admin doesn’t have access to a classroom, they might not be able to create a teacher account yet (for Google Classroom or Microsoft Teams). If that happens, just email me your school’s name and an estimated student count, and I’ll get your plan set up manually.

Either way, you’ll still have access to a billing portal where you can update or remove your payment method and download invoices anytime. You’ll also receive confirmation emails before any charges go through. Payments are handled securely through Stripe, so everything should feel smooth and familiar.


There are only 9 Early Adopter spots left. I’m heading to a few conferences over the next couple of weeks and expect these to fill up soon—so if Type the Word has already been helpful for your school, I’d be honored to have you join while spots are still available. I’m also happy to extend your subscription to cover any remaining trial days.

In Christ,
Josh

Hi Reader, I’ve been reading Make It Stick, and it’s changing how I think about tests. They’re not just a way to find out what you know. They can help you learn what you don’t. One of the biggest points of the book is that it’s easy to think you understand something, but testing helps you see whether you actually do. The insight I’ve taken from it is that testing can also help form long-term memory—not just reveal what you missed, but help you learn it. That’s why I’m excited that you can now...

Hey Reader, Today is the first day of a new Passage of the Day season: Rhetorical Questions. The scripture inspiration behind this season For a long time Rhetorical Questions in the Bible have given me goose bumps. When God asks someone in the Bible a question that he already knows the answer to, it’s a great time for us to stop and consider. We’re going to move chronologically through Scripture, typing passages built around the questions God asks—not because He needs the answer, but because...
