Customer Rating:
Summary: Great
Comment: This is a great typing program. Both my kids ages 8 and 12 used it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun for kids
Comment: I had tried to get my 9yo son to learn typing from a program geared for adults. It was not enjoyable for him. He really enjoys this program and has learned so much. Even my 5yo daughter loves it. The games and exercises are very good. I read some comments about poor graphics before buying this. My children haven't said anything about this. I certainly don't think it's an issue. This was well worth the money. I wish I had purchased this sooner and not pushed the adult typing program on him.

Summary: Bored my sons to tears...and me too
Comment: I bought this because of the excellent reviews, but my 8-year-old and 6-year-old sons found it horrible. I thought they were just being whiny, so I ran the program myself. Turns out my sons weren't just complaining! The characters are undynamic to the point of uninteresting. So we also tried SpongeBob Typing a month later and found it much more engaging. SpongeBob Typing also did a better job of controlling the children's progress so they would be ready for the games and drills, and for moving to the next lesson. Typing Instructor moved them before they were ready -- perhaps attempting to compensate for the dull nature of the game with premature advancement.
Ugh, look for my copy of Typing Instructor II on ebay!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great for 8yr old / babysish for 10yr old
Comment: My daughter is 8yr and she really took to this. My son is feels it is a little babyish for him. But overall I recommend it and it is getting the job done... They do 45 minutes each day in the morning for 3 weeks so far and are doing great wtih it.
