Review: Great Typing Program for Kids/Adults and has Entertainment Value too! - I spent an extensive amount of time reviewing available programs and settled on this one! We are homeschooling and I actually bought this program (Platinum version for Windows) for my 1st grader. He is pretty adept at computers (for his age) so I figured "no time like the present to start learning proper keys"! He REALLY likes it! It progresses through exercises that address both accuracy & speed and you set your own goals. You can pick a variety of different background music-(if you want any - my son likes the jazz!), and it has great graphics with a super variety of different games & adventures that are very fun and challenging - lots of different ways to learn! -------- As an Adult I have enjoyed challenging myself on speed/accuracy to see how high a score I can get. You can choose to work on specific keys/rows/combinations/numbers or even 10 key-right side #s. OR, you can go to the story area and work with real words/paragraphs/stories. Lots of bells and whistles so there was a bit of a learning curve figuring out the extent of what you can do with this program, so my only negative would be wishing the instructions were clearer. But hey, my 7 year old can figure it out so I'll blame that on me (user error)! --- As an FYI my 5 yr old loves to get on and play the games even though he is not using the right fingers on the keys - so, know that it has definate entertainment value! Review: Great program for kids - I bought this program for my kids, ages 8 and 10. It works like a video game in which players travel around the lands of Typer Island and participate in exciting adventures. The adventures include: 1. The Old West: Players learn the keyboard "home keys" as well as proper finger placement in the Old West 2. On the Water: Players learn more letters and numbers while racing a Viking ship 3. In the Air: Players learn typing rhythm in an exciting space adventure 4. Over the Edge: Players climb a mountain to gain speed and dexterity 5. Under the Sea: Players battle sea creatures while mastering challenging keys My kids enjoyed playing the games, but after a week or so I had a hard time getting them to play. My 8-year-old son had a hard time mastering certain levels, so he reached a point where he could no longer move forward. My 10-year-old had no problems mastering each level, and her typing speed improved greatly. Overall, I think this is an excellent program. It's difficult to get kids to stick with any instructional program, so I don't think my son's problems were due to anything other than his being a boy. I would recommend this product to any parent who wishes to give their kids a head start in their keyboarding skills. ## Features - The Ultimate Typing Tutor to Teach Kids to Type - Kids can Learn in English or Spanish - Island Adventure Theme Motivates Kids to Learn to Type or Improve their Typing Skills - Exciting Typing Games, Challenges, Lessons, and Tests Build Skills - Choose the Perfect Typing Plan by Age & Skill Level, Starting with the Home Row Plan - Teaches Keyboard Basics Following one of 11 Age-Appropriate Typing Plans – Meets National, State, & Common Core Standards - Typing Instructor is a registered trademark & box images and screenshots are copyrights of Individual Software Inc. - Product is Delivered in a Closed Factory Fresh Box and Includes the Current Version & Unused Activation Code - Free Technical Support!

The program introduces letters for typing 4 at a time. Is easier for young learners to begin with 2 at a time but this is not an option. It only sends them through the lesson once and if they don’t select repeat immediately there is no way to repeat it without creating a new student user. The games are interactive and good for practice but you can’t get back to lessons once starting a game unless you finish the game or close out the program. Small things that are not terrible but could have been better thought through. A review said this would work for Mac but once it arrived the required systems clearly notes it is for Windows systems only. I have both so I was able to work it out but not what I wanted. This gets one start because it is not the version that it was supposed to be and because the introduction to characters is too many for young learners. Meaning in order to teach well, I had to use a different program that introduced 2 characters at a time and once the set of 4 was learned I could go back to this. Otherwise it is frustrating for students. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1615507-typing-instructor-for-kids-platinum-5](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1615507-typing-instructor-for-kids-platinum-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
