5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, variety, and education all in one, June 18, 2006

This is an excellent typing disk. The instructions are easy to follow and there is a LOT of variety, so it is easy to stay interested and motivated. In addition to the basic typing instruction and practice sessions, you can choose from 300+ magazine articles for speed building. These articles encompass a LOT of subjects. If you prefer to speed type a specific kind of material (such as an article from a medical journal, giving exposure to dense medical terminology), you can import articles from the Internet, and this program will provide instant feedback if you make an error and will calculate your speed as you type the article. You can also import your own music that will play while you type, or you can chose from a variety of music that they have (their music is a bit cheesy). Ten typing games add interest and variety. The quality of these games is not sophisticated compared to 2006 technology; nevertheless, the graphics and sound quality are good (especially Typing Shark Abyss). I had none of the problems described in the other review. This disk has won some impressive awards for excellence (search the Internet and you'll see).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Educational!!, August 31, 2008

My kids (12,9,6) all beg to play this game. Most educational games are either boring with no "game" aspect or they are so much "game" that the kids aren't really learning anything. This is a great way to learn how to type and I even use it to improve my wpm. My 12yob already had some typing experience but because he enjoys the games so much, he has really improved in typing accuracy. My 9yog had little typing experience and she just tested at almost 30 wpm which takes into consideration mistakes. In this computer age, it's important for kids to learn how to type well and this is the program to help them accomplish that goal.
