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).

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.

I bought this to help my son learn how to type. He doubled his speed in just one week. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

The product was in excellent condition. The content was exactly as advertised. Typing with the cd. Is entertaining and the music which can be added when typing, makes using the cd such a pleasure.
Top product. Delivery fast... Thankyou

Much better than Mavis Bacone! Oldest child used this in a school system and hated it, this one she likes, says it's fun.

I used this for a typing class for all ages. Everyone enjoyed it and they were all able to either learn to type or improved their speed.

i hate this because its got a million glitches. Halfway through, it made me go back to the begning because i failed a test, and the WPM is either really hi or lo, no medium, and the installation takes ages, and it makes you take test after test after test, and u cant go back to the begning, and its cheezy lookin, w/ weerd graphics, and strange music, and the sound sux.
DONT BUY IT!!
