 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.
 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.
Good typing practice January 9, 2008

I bought this as practice for my 8-year-old granddaughters who took typing in school this year. Have only had it a few days, but they are glued to it during their free computer time. It enourages touch-typing and accuracy.
We've found only one flaw. One of the girls pressed the back-arrow to see what would happen and she lost several chapters of the work she had completed. I'm not sure what caused the glitch -- expect it was operator error, but couldn't identify it.
They are having a lot of fun practicing, and they are improving speed and accuracy in a short time. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because I think a children's program should make it difficult to wipe out completed work. If it weren't for that, I would give it 5 stars.
