They’ll learn to conquer the a, s, l, and ; keys, take on typing lessons, challenges, and games. The Typer Island Adventure is packed with so much fun and motivation, kids forget they are learning to type. “Boring” is not a word you’ll hear as kids continue their Adventure in new lands, On the Water, In the Air, Over the Edge, and Under the Sea. Typing Instructor for Kids is the perfect typing solution for parents, too, as kids will not need help as they are guided step-by-step by Toby, a young boy, and his feathered-sidekick, Layfette. They help kids progress through the Adventure using just the keys they have learned.

Category Description for Typing Instructor for Kids
Typing Instructor for Kids offers a fun, motivating, and effective way to learn typing and keyboarding skills! There are currently two versions available: Gold and Platinum. Gold is the most updated version with enhancements in graphics, but very few content changes. Choose from Mac or Windows and CD-ROM or digital downloads. Please note system requirements under each item.
Typing Instructor for Kids features 160 touch-typing lessons which cover all the basic keys on either a standard or a split keyboard. There are ten different typing plans to choose from, each geared to a different age group. Regardless of the plan they are following, each student learns the keyboard by taking a tour of "Typer Island" and visiting five different lands as they journey to the Castle. As students journey through Old West, On the Water, In the Air, Over the Edge, and Under the Sea, they'll learn new keys and complete exciting challenges like typing to shoot words out of the sky, racing a Viking ship by typing words as quickly as possible, and typing words printed on sharks before they eat you! The activities build upon each other so students can't move on until their skills are ready. The changes in scenery add a lot of variety to the lessons, but you can still rely on helpful features, including visual instruction with the 3D guide hands and keyboard. Accuracy and speed in words per minute are also tracked throughout, with students getting instant feedback on their performance and earning rewards.
The further students advance in the program, the more arcade-style games will be available to them. Once they make it through all five lands, students capture the Castle, which opens the Lost City and provides two new games. While capturing the Castle and exploring the Lost City are the ultimate goals of the game, students earn treasure and points all through the program, which keeps them motivated and entertained. Students can also visit Explorer Isle at any point to play their favorite games using only the keys that they have covered already. They can also visit Story Lagoon and practice typing one of 40 familiar stories, including fairy tales and classic literature. With this program's careful progression, interesting storyline, high-quality animation, 30+ games, multiple skill levels, and English/Spanish instruction, its no wonder that Typing Instructor for Kids is the winner of so many prestigious educational awards!
