Explore the Lands of Typer Island!
For 20 years, Typing Instructor has helped individuals improve their typing skills. Now, Typing Instructor for Kids 3 delivers the same proven typing methods for children in an entertaining and educational environment. On Typer Island, you will explore five exciting lands on your way to the castle. In each land, you will learn new keys, experience exciting typing challenges & be engaged by fun games.
Acquire Essential Typing Skills Early
Helping your children learn to type correctly early in life is essential; once bad habits set in, they are more difficult to change later. With a foundation of essential typing skills, younger students will complete homework more quickly and accurately, and they'll possess the basic Internet skills they need to excel.
Lessons, Challenges & Results
Proven educational and instructional techniques are incorporated into Typer Island's lessons and tests. WPM (Words Per Minute) and accuracy scores are reported after each typing activity and results are saved for up to five typists.
Skill Settings Offer a Personalized Experience
Kids of varying skill levels should never have to start at the same place or progress at the same speed. Typing Instructor for Kids now offers varying, skill-level settings which allow young students to advance at different paces.
Seven New Friends Help You Achieve Your Typing Goals
Toby and Lafitte, the invaluable guides on Typer Island, are friendlier than ever! Plus, kids interact with Jack O'Hare, Simon de Vorak, and other new characters through each land.
