Typing Instructor Gold for Kids – Version 5

Adventure. Instruction. And a Treasure Chest Full of Typing Skills.

Welcome to Typer Island—where every keystroke is a step closer to mastering the keyboard! If your child has groaned through typing drills before, this just might be the game-changing program you've been waiting for. With colorful lands to explore, multi-level games, and quirky characters like Toby and Lafitte, typing practice becomes a swashbuckling learning quest.

Your child will set sail on a journey through five imaginative lands, conquering over 30 action-packed challenges, 160 structured lessons, and hundreds of games, exercises, and tests. Whether you're aiming for WPM glory or just building solid typing habits, this award-winning program has you covered—with or without games.

And yes, it's customizable. Choose from 11 different typing plans (even one without any games if that's your style), set speed goals, and let your child progress at his own pace. The program teaches essential typing skills with proven techniques. It follows national keyboarding standards—all wrapped in an adventure kids genuinely want to play.

What's Inside Typer Island:

  • Over 140 learning activities, including bilingual instruction in English and Spanish
  • Real-time tracking with progress graphs, certificates, and feedback on speed and accuracy
  • Rewards and collectibles that keep kids motivated—from points and coins to Castle glory
  • Built-in tools like a Map Room, Treasure Chest, and even a Tour Ship to keep the journey on track
  • Creative mini-games (Typing with Sharks, Ziggy, Wild West challenges, and more!)


Game First, Learning Always:
Behind every playful puzzle and pirate map is real skill-building. Whether your child is meeting the Home Row for the first time or refining his technique with advanced drills, Typing Instructor Gold balances entertainment with educational excellence. And if you prefer to keep things more low-key? Skip the fantasy and stick to the skill plans—it's flexible enough to fit your family's learning style.

Heads-up for Parents:
While most families love the playful elements, a few may want to preview content like talking stones or brief spooky imagery. It's minor and infrequent, but worth knowing in advance.

So if your child's current typing program feels more like a snooze than a skill, set sail for Typer Island. With Typing Instructor Gold for Kids, learning to type is a journey he'll actually want to finish.

Let the adventure (and the typing!) begin.
