 A fun, age-appropriate way to learn to type May 30, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
My daughter, who is 7 and gifted, loves this program! In fact, it is hard to get her off of it! She's set her own goals and is very motivated to keep practicing and learning. My husband, whose typing could use some improvement, was even watching her and commenting, "Maybe I could play?" She didn't like that idea, as it would compete with her computer time! Highly recommend this product.

It is targeted for ages 7 and up; however, my 4 1/2 year old is not about to be left out of the fun so we let her try it. She typed at 3 words per minute on her first try. We've had this computer CD for 4 days and my 8 year old is typing at 10 words per minute. Even mom and dad are using it. Dad has always done hunt and peck so he's learning the keys and I'm using it to increase my speed.
It has lessons that won't allow you to move on until you reach 15 wpm and 90% accuracy but you can bypass the wpm. I don't recommend it because it will slow down your future progress. It can be hard for a child to type the same section over and over until he reaches 15 wpm, but it is well worth the effort. We found a way to reward our son for just sitting down to practice even if he doesn't advance to the next level.
There are 11 games, 40 stories, 30 challenges, saved results, etc, etc. The program story revolves around the typist being on an island, moving from one land to another, until he finally gets to the castle where he becomes the ruler and can defend it and play new games.
I've never come across such a thorough program. The program has won 7 awards. Included in every lesson are hands superimposed over a keyboard so the typist knows where the keys are without looking down. You can look up test results to see which hand or finger needs more practice.
This is a fun program!
 Nice program, but tutorial can be a bit much. March 16, 2007

My 10 year old daughter really loves the typing tutor. The only problem we had was the animated tutorial. It was cute, but lenghty. I would definitely recommend this program.

My 7 year old daughter loves playing with this typing instuctor game. It tracks her progress so we can see her accuracy and her speed in the days or weeks to come. It shows the child in an easy an accurate way finger placement. I think there is up to 11 games to play, but we haven't gotten that far yet.
I am only giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because we haven't gotten through the whole thing yet. Love it so far!
Wonderful, Fun Program January 18, 2007

I bought this program for my 11 yr old granddaughter and she has very quickly learned the keyboard. I wanted her to learn the correct way to type before she developed bad hunt and peck habits. So much homework now requires typed reports. She had fun with it. It's a great program!!
