I was already pretty good at the keyboard, but in order to write this review, I typed my way through all the lessons of Typing Instructor for Kids. Its systematic instruction is filled with speed and accuracy games. To my surprise, the games increased my skill!

Colorful animated characters guide the child at every step. On Typer Island, the child encounters five levels (or lands). He learns finger-to-key placement in the Old West, escapes danger Under the Sea, etc. Completing the lessons and games in one land enables him to explore the next land of greater difficulty, where he plays new and more exciting games. Typing his way through all the lands, he seizes the castle and becomes king of Typer Island. The course is filled with incentives to move ahead to gain treasure. I found one of the most challenging games to be Diamond Glider. It teaches steady rhythm. WPM (words per minute) and accuracy are always monitored. New features include 10 typing plans for different age groups and two new games. Ages 7 and up. 128MB RAM, Windows 00/XP/Vista.
