Rating: - amazing results!
We have been using this item for our three children for our school at home and have been amazed at the results! All of our kids have learned how to type in a very short period of time - a week! Because the work is "fun," the kids want to do it and enjoy the success of being able to type. It still needs some oversite from a parent, but it is very minimal and simple. I would recommend this product highly. p.s. we have also tried Mavis Beacon and don't like this program very much in comparison ... Read More
Rating: - Great for kids...
Great Product. I bought it for my friend's kids and they love it so far. I installed it for them the other day, and one of the youngest was on there doing the first lesson, which took some time since he types about 4wpm (little hands) but the program kept his attention. Which I was impressed with since typing can get old fast for anyone.
I can't say anyting about long term, but there seems to be a good appeal to children, they really got a kick out of it.
Rating: - nice software
Kids went wild over it initially (8 y.o. and 5 y.o.) but got bored and tossed it to the side after about a week. My son though tries to type with his hands on the home keys now at least. Could be they will pick up using it again some time in the future. I couldn't figure out how to change users after one was already selected, so when changing I was forced to exit the program and reload.
