    4 out of 5 stars Good product, Self-learning   September 1, 2008
    PR123
    Recommended by son's Computer Teacher. Son turned 7 this summer, and used program. Taught himself how to type with hardly any assistance from us. Keeps their interest with games/skills. Motivates kids to 'get to the next level'. A little challenging at first to figure out format, but once you get rolling, they can use themselves.

    Despite being billed as "SpongeBob Typing 2008," this version has NOT been updated to work with Macintosh OS X beyond version 10.3. It will NOT run on 10.5 Leopard.


    4 out of 5 stars Good learning tool   August 2, 2008
    Leslie M. Kelsheimer (Oswego, IL)
    My 8 yr. old wanted to learn to type as fast as I could so I bought her this cd-rom since she loves Sponge Bob. She has already started typing reports for school on the computer so I thought this would be a good teaching tool. The games on it are clever in that it gets them to figure out where all the letters are on the key pad in a timely manner and even times them to get them to beat their previous time. She thought some of the games were a little difficult but, she still likes it. It hasn't held her attention the way I thought it would but, I am still glad I bought it. Telling her to practice typing with Sponge Bob is still easier than getting her to practice piano. Plus, she'll be way ahead of other kids in this area. Heck, I didn't take typing until I was in high school!


    5 out of 5 stars My son loves this!   July 19, 2008

    5 out of 5 stars Fun for learning typing   May 14, 2008

    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!
