For 20 years, Typing Instructor has helped individuals improve their typing skills.

Learn to Type on a Fun-Filled Adventure
Typer Island Adventure is an exciting place to learn to type! Your kids will be motivated to improve their typing skills as they travel through five unique lands leading up to the castle. In each land, they'll experience new and exciting typing challenges, learn new keys, and build speed and accuracy.

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, and 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.

New! Skill Settings Offer a Personalized Experience

Customer Reviews

Typing Instructor
My kids love it. My 4 yr old and 9 year old are both enjoying it and hopefully use to the full.

Got stuck after the first level.
My child cannot proceed with the next level/lesson because he says it got stuck on the 1st one. I haven't looked at it yet, but any decent program should automatically advance to succeeding level. Hopefully, I can make it work when I find time to mess with it.

Great
This is a great typing program. Both my kids ages 8 and 12 used it.
