- Great fun for kids
If you are teaching kids typing, or just having your kids learn it themselves, this is a great typing program. It's lots of fun, so it keeps kids motivated. My only complaint about this program is that it doesn't give enough practice where kids who type slowly can still keep up. The speed drills are exactly that. If you can't type quickly enough, you cannot get through the speed drills. This is also a fun program for adults.

The GREAT thing about this program is that my six year old loves it and it is teaching ... Read More
