===Game===
The Game included in the Touch Typing Tutor module coordinates with the lessons and is designed to provide enjoyable practice to increase your typing speed. Although meant to be enjoyed, the Game also serves important educational purposes.
One purpose, as mentioned already, is to help you to increase your typing speed. In the Lessons, you learn to pace yourself so that you can type with "control"; that is, typing at a pace where few errors occur. However, in order for your basic level of skill to grow, you must periodically force your typing speed to a higher level than that which is currently "comfortable" to you. The Game can help you achieve this goal.
Another goal accomplished by the Game, along with other portions of the Touch Typing Tutor, is the "patternization" of letter combinations found in frequently used words. This helps your hands to "memorize" frequently occurring letter combinations, thereby increasing your typing speed.
The Game also forces fast perception of words. This is the first step toward typing words at the "word-response" level (an entire word at a time), instead of at a "letter-response" level (letter by letter). With the Touch Typing Tutor selection list displayed, press 3 for GAME. Then read the instructions displayed on the screen, and select the desired level.

LEVELS 1-4
LEVELS 5-8
These levels use the words and/or symbols that were
introduced in the level selected. For example, Level 1
uses words from Lessons 1-A and 1-B.
These levels use numbers combined with the
symbols that were introduced in the level selected.
Any that were introduced in earlier lessons will also
be included. For example, Level 5 displays
combinations of numbers and symbols that were
covered in Lessons 4-A, 4-B, 5-A, and 5-B.
