Treasure Island Typing Test: Project Gutenberg Novel Chapters
Treasure Island typing test on Type Faster: Robert Louis Stevenson’s public-domain novel from Project Gutenberg #120, split into 787 timed chunks across 34 chapters for long-form story practice.
Why Treasure Island belongs in a typing library
Short fables train accuracy on moral punchlines; novels train sustained scanning—dialogue dashes, sea slang, and long clauses that mirror certificate passages and homework reading.
Treasure Island on Type Faster uses the Project Gutenberg plain-text edition (#120), chunked into bite-sized parts you can finish in one-, three-, or five-minute timed blocks.
Teachers: share library URLs with collection and passage params so every student types identical homework text.

787 chunks, 34 chapters
Each chapter splits into multiple parts (for example ch01-c01, ch01-c02) sized for typing practice, not speed-reading marathons. Pick a chapter number, select a part, and progress carries by chunk slug when you are signed in.
Share `/practice/library?collection=treasure-island&chapter=1&passage=ch01-c01&duration=180` in LMS posts so every student starts the same Admiral Benbow scene.
When fairy-tale quotes break rhythm, drill punctuation keys before you raise timer duration.

When to choose Treasure Island over fables
Move here after Aesop and fairy tales feel easy and you want endurance without switching to dry lorem ipsum.
Pair one Treasure Island chapter per week with a three-minute fable benchmark so WPM trends stay comparable while vocabulary density rises.
