Customer Rating: Summary: Fun! Comment: This is a fun way for children to become familiar with the keyboard. It is a great product! Customer Rating: Summary: My older boys love it! Comment: My oldest three kids love this (12, 10 & 7). Cool game for the price. Customer Rating: Summary: good, but not what I'd hoped. Comment: This product is decent. My eight year old and his friends had a blast playing all the different typing games with their favorite characters. Installation and navigation through the program was easy. What it doesn't contain are the basics...the actual teaching of hand position and repetative learning of keystrokes by finger, that we all remember from typing class (jfjfjf kdkdkd lslsls etc. to learn where the keys are and which finger types them). There is one game that shows hand position, but it's not visually very clear, at least to me. I've kind of put this game away until we get a 'standard' typing tutor to teach him these basics first. Otherwise I feel that he is being encouraged to get really good at the hunt-and-peck method. It's too bad too, the game is really fun. It would be great for a child that already knows the basics and wants to practice in a game environment. Customer Rating: Summary: Not an instruction program Comment: This is a program for kids who already know how to type and need practice, it does not teach typing. Customer Rating: Summary: Very easy; kids took right to it Comment: The kids (ages 6 & 8) took right to it. no instructions necessary. they have a lot of fun with it and within the first few days had learned about half of the keys. Great way to get young kids properly introduced to proper typing.
