    4 out of 5 stars fun and educational   April 15, 2008
    My 9 yo liked this a lot, and found it fun to "play". Very cute graphics, and has good drills.


    4 out of 5 stars Lots of fun but may be a bit challenging for a beginner   February 8, 2008

    My son had never really typed before and he failed the first typing test a few times. I thought he was just going to give it up. But he had lost his computer game privileges for a few days and asked to play the typing game. Longing for computer stimulation, he really got into it and was soon playing the games offered in the software. I like the emphasis on correct finger placement, offered in a fun way, and the fact that the games only test kids on the keys they have already learned. Well worth it.


    5 out of 5 stars great for young kids   January 26, 2008

    My 8 year old loves it, and I see how pretty fast she is using correct finger placement (unlike me..) and getting faster at typing. I think that the way the software is setup, combining games with learning is perfect.

    We've tried others, like the disney one in the past, and they never held her interest.

    Good educational software, and fun to learn. Both my 7-year-old boy and his 10-year-old friend like it.

    My daughter loves Typing Instructor. They use it at her elementary school. The only problem with this version is that if your child has any experience at all with typing, they will go through version 3 in a few hours.
