Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - My son loves this!
My 7 yo loves this game. He gets excited and wants to play it every day!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fun for learning typing
My 9 year old son really likes to learn typing with this program. There are two modes. One teaches typing step by step and the other is just for fun. It is best if they do the step by step first so they learn all the letters. If they don't, they can still play the games, but it is a little more difficult. Great program for kids since today everyone needs to learn keyboarding!



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Fun but not really updated
I would be wary and not pay too much for this product. Even though it is 2008, it seems like the programmers just rushed to get something to market and didn't bother to have it fully compatible. I have a Mac and was perturbed by the fact that it ran under a Classic environment. OS X has been out for how long? Then why would anyone create software to fit a MAC OS that has been obsolete for the last 8 years!!!

I felt like I overpaid for this at 10 bucks.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - So Cool!
This software is awesome for kids who really want to learn to type or parents looking for help teaching their kids. It makes learning fun and easy. My son and I both love it and he was faster and more accurate after the first lesson. One recommendation, don't let your kids skip ahead to the games that are above their skill level because, if their like mine, it will just cause frustration.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Makes a boring activity fun
With this product I was finally able to get my daughter to learn to type.
It makes a boring and tedious subject fun to learn.
