This fun learning adventure had my kids typing right away! The animated guides and super fun journey hooked them - they were begging to type longer and return to "Typer Island". I have students asking to come in during recess and lunch times to practice their skills and have developed a waiting list and timers to accommodate them all. The games are clever and teach them a specific typing skill. The skills build sequentially yet provide opportunity for review to reinforce their learning. You get results right away so the kids can practice the keys they are not as good at striking. I give it a big 5 stars. It's easy to load and run and has no computer problems or bugs!
Great way to teach your kids how to type January 10, 2010

I bought this program based on several reviews I read. It is a great program. Even my 4 year old uses it. The games keep my kids captivated for hours and they are learning to type at the same time. Highly recommend it.
Very pleased Mom.

I've used an earlier version of this program and kid's who've I had use it with have enjoyed the variety of lessons and games. I've liked the flexiblity of the program - the ability to add music,change print size and monitor progress. My six-year-old daughter has been using this newer version and loves it. She however, is more interested in getting to the castle then concentrating on her finger placement. For a six-year-old it maybe great exposure to the keyboard, but a little early to master the isolated finger movements.
