• typing program
  A very basic program. Not enough variety of activities to hold a child's interest.

• good choice
  Great practice for learning letter positions on keyboard. Challenging and fun activities for practices. Disappointed, though, that it did not go to the next level of providing opportunities for words, sentences, and paragraph practices. This would be a great additions for the software creators to think about adding in the "next" version.

• Excellent
  Read an earlier review which slammed this product. Found my students to achieve decent proficiency in typing. I use it from 2nd Grade to 6th Grade. So what if it shows a canned movie. Yep I wish it would do provide other features i.e. a network version of the product so that I can review progress charts from a single view. However, despite these "shortcomings" this is one of the better typing programs in respect to achieving results. The kids love it and any program that gets students excited and involved... more info

• Can teach a 6 year old to type!!!
  I bought this as a gift for my six year old who wanted to learn to type on the computer, tried other products at the library and the librarian recommended this one. I installed this easily on an old pentium 166 running Windows 98. It runs better than most kids software. It does have some issues with typing too fast or too slow but frankly I think it helps you place your fingers cleanly and accurately.

  The GREAT thing about this program is that my six year old loves it and it is teaching him good typing... more info
