 Typing is fun! September 3, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I bought this game for my 2nd grader. He absolutely loves it! It has several fun games that make learning how to type exciting. I like that they show hands on the bottom of the screen for beginners. The fingers move to where they are supposed to be positioned while typing. That feature has been extremely helpful for my son! I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to improve typing skills--especially if you like Sponge Bob. I think we will get a lot of use out of this software!
 Keep looking!!! May 14, 2007

If you are buying this for your child to learn on than you will want to keep looking. The program doesn't teach basic skills at all. Better off going with a Mavis Beacon Learn to Type. The kids do love that it put a Spongebob Screensaver on our computer, but that has been the only thing they like about it. Games aren't very fun.
Excellent buy for Mac users! May 14, 2007

Install was quick and easy, right away my [...] was playing it for over 2 and half hours before I had to tell him he was done for the night. I still have to have my [...] try it but so far it's great. He's already showing signs of progress

When we upgraded computers we lost the ability to use the Disney's "Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumba." It was the best typing game. My [..]could 10-finger type with an occasional peek at the keys. This SpongeBob has been a good substitute, my younger kids have enjoyed it, and that is the important thing with getting them to practice. Still want to know why Disney never came out with an upgrade to "Timon and Pumba."

This typing software for kids was definitely a good buy for us. I got it 3 weeks ago and did not really have much time to spend with the children working on their skills. My 10 year old installed it himself and spend some time on it nearly every day without beeing asked. He would follow instructions, play games and print out the results of his work regularly to present them to me proudly. Yesterday, I watched him typing an email to his friend without looking at the keyboard! Slow, but obviously enjoying his new found skill. So I can't really tell you about the individual features on the software but kids love it and it works for them. However, my 13 year old did not really take to it. I think the characters and games used, don't appeal to him. I would 10 to 11 consider a top age level. Also, we are a bilingual family and my son types in two languages on the software. We do have another software that has been sitting on the bookshelf unused unless I would sit there with the kids. Last but not least. We used this on an apple computer without a problem. A very good buy for the price!!
