Hey all you space cadets!  It is time to join forces with Captain Keyboard in his efforts to conquer the galaxies!  What?  You don't know how to type very well?  Then report to the Cadet Training School immediately!  You can use your mouse to point and click through the practice tutorials.

If you are just beginning to learn how to type, then you can find out where to place your hands on the keyboard and which fingers are used to type each letter, number and symbol.  You can practice here all you want until you are ready for a bigger challenge!

There are practice tutorials for letters, words and phrases.  You can even create custom word lists to help you become more familiar with specific words or phrases.  This would be especially useful if you are studying a new course like science or geography and are finding lots of unfamiliar words and phrases that you need to learn.  The same principle applies to learning new terminology for a new job!  You can also use Captain Keyboard as a spelling tutor so you are learning two skills at the same time!

Once you are comfortable with the practice tutorials, it is time to test your skills and increase your typing to warp speed as you travel through space on your quest to conquer the galaxies!   As you advance, more keys are introduced to constantly challenge you to type harder words and phrases.  You'll have to type fast if you want to become a Keyboard Master and save the universe from destruction!
