Customer Reviews

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 is half-way there.
