My 9 year old son loved this adventure game. It was right on his level and peeked his interest. He begs to do keyboarding class even on days when it isn't scheduled.

I bought this for my 9 yr old to start practice typing as part of her homeschool day. She does very well with it. After the first day, I haven't even sat down with her. She does it all on her own. I would have given it 5 stars but I allowed my 9 yr old to give the stars. She chose the 4. I think because it's a little too childish in her book! She's unimpressed with the parrot. As a mom, though, it's what I was looking for.

This is a fun program for teaching kids how to type. It breaks down the keyboard into manageable chunks and naturally moves from one set of keys to the next. The games are fun too.

My 6 year old is just beginning and my 2 other children have been typing for a few years. This program meets all of their needs! Well done, fun and creative while allowing the parent/ teacher to control many functions.

My children (ages 6, 8, 11) beg to "play the typing game." Since I have bought this program, they don't ask to play video games anymore. So I am pleased that it keeps them engaged, and they enjoy doing the exercises. They are learning to type, but are enjoying the process. I also like the fact that the selections of passages for typing practice are very good, chosen from classical literature.

We had tried another Touch Typing computer program previously, but my children found it quite tedious and it died out. I was excited to find this product and, so far, they are really enjoying it and often come and report back on their speed and accuracy with much excitement. They enjoy the 'game' aspect as well as the added feature of choosing from a large variety of music to accompany their lesson. I have, however, found it too difficult for my 7 year old in terms of finger co-ordination at this stage, but my 11 and 10year olds are doing well.

Our whole family loves this program (including me)! We all have no typing skills AT ALL so everyone is learning individually! The games and excercises are very easy and very fun! It increases each persons difficulty based on their improvement! LOVE THIS!

I bought this for my 9year old son and he's using it everyday and loving it. His 6 year old sister has joined in - it's a bit hard for her but she enjoys the games so much she's sticking with it.
