My kids love it. My 4 yr old and 9 year old are both enjoying it and hopefully use to the full. from Amazon.com This is a great typing program. Both my kids ages 8 and 12 used it. from Amazon.com I had tried to get my 9yo son to learn typing from a program geared for adults. It was not enjoyable for him. from Amazon.com Turns out my sons weren't just complaining! The characters are undynamic to the point of uninteresting. So we also tried SpongeBob Typing a month later and found it much more engaging. SpongeBob Typing also did a better job of controlling the children's progress so they would be ready for the games and drills, and for moving to the next lesson. from Amazon.com However the "reward games" part of it would not. Everytime you finished a lesson I would get an error code and then I could only go on to the next lesson. This is no reward for a child learning how to type. I called the company and they e-mailed me a link to get the updated version and I got the same thing with that one too. from Amazon.com This is the most boring typing game imaginable. I couldn't get my son interested in it for two minutes. from Amazon.com My daughter, 10, had worked through most of this program, and was learning to type correctly. It was a bit prone to let her progress too fast without feeling that she was making good strides for small improvements, but overall I was satisfied with it. However, in the last module, she came upon a few sentences in a lesson which revealed the climactic ending of The Lord of the Rings, which she had been reading with her father and was only halfway through! from Amazon.com Kids, adults, it's fun and they love to do it. It took a little time for me to figure out how it works but with the children's help we mastered it. from Amazon.com I like it because it shows you the proper way to type; like where to put your hands and stuff." Charlie age 7 from Amazon.com Although it seems he has mastered the lesson, only his short term memory has learned anything and any long term muscle memory has no chance to develop. Also, there is no way to go backwards and repeat a lesson to review so I have had to make my own worksheets in MSWord to cover keystrokes he is not competent in. This is a fun game for him after his normal keyboarding lesson but I will no longer use it as his instructor. from Amazon.com
