Typing Instructor Deluxe: Version 17
If you are looking for the best typing program available for your family, look no further. We spent countless hours evaluating the competition, but everything else we tried was juvenile, stressful, violent, or just plain dumb.

No-nonsense approach to typing
As a busy teaching parent, and with children who feel equally occupied with commitments, we were looking for a no-nonsense approach to typing. Being able to get in, get the lesson done, and move on is a tremendous benefit and with Typing Instructor Deluxe Version 17 you can.

Create your own lessons, add your own music, and even build your own typing plans
Typing Instructor Deluxe offers a variety of typing plans that can be tailored to your skill level and preferences, including a typing plan just for children. Plus, with the "dynamic learning" technology, your child will improve faster because his weak areas will be automatically targeted. With this version you will be able to create your own lessons, add your own music, and even build your own typing plans. Finally, the clincher for us was the dictation feature. Here your child will improve his touch-typing skills by typing as the computer reads aloud a passage to him. As you can guess, some passages are better than others, but this is a great, practical skill, so sort through the essays to find ones that you are comfortable with.

Easiest, most cost-effective method to teach typing
No typing program is perfect and Typing Instructor Deluxe is no exception. We don't care for the arcade games, and some of the music drives us nuts. But you can skip the games and turn off the music and it will not affect the efficiency of the program. Being a competent typist gives children greater job flexibility and allows them to be more productive. Typing Instructor Deluxe Version 17 is the easiest, most cost-effective method to teach this vital skill.

Another outstanding component in the Timberdoodle Core Curriculum Series!

Unlike other programs, Typing Instructor works! September 25, 2009
Reviewer: Kim F. from Old Hickory, TN  
I have tried other typing programs for my children in the past without much success. After reading other reviews, I decided to give Typing Instructor a try.  I have been very impressed.  Each of my children can work at their own pace and level.  Their progress can be seen immediately at the end of each lesson.  This is such an encouragement to them.  My son's typing skills have improved to the point of him being able to type all his book reports and essays.  Thanks for a great program!

My 12yo daughter has been using this program. September 25, 2009
Reviewer: Marti W. from Elma, WA  
Her spelling has improved and she absolutely loves the games. It keeps her attention and she has never gotten bored and "not" wanted to do her typing. We are really glad that we bought this program.

I have been using Typing Tutor for MANY years.... September 25, 2009
Reviewer: Cathy S. from Montpelier, ND  
I can't remember when I purchased my first copy, but my 7 oldest children [oldest is 27 down to our 14 year old] have or are learning to type on it.  I have 4 more that will use it, as well.  Personally, I have taken time to do some of the advanced lessons to learn my numbers and other keys, that I never knew.  It helped me, tremendously.  My husband missed typing class in high school due to switching schools.  I hope someday he will take the time to use it too. It is a resource that will remain a valuable tool for our family for many years.
