This review is from: Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing: A Brief Course (Spiral-bound)

Wow! I just tried my new Mavis Beacon typing program after my daughter became an excellent typist using same. What is there to say? Do I like the command step-by-step for using my fingers on the key board, the color reminders for mistakes, the instant feedback of my words per minute (in spite of the automatic assurances that I am already a great typist), the awesome jazz that backgrounds and distracts from an otherwise possibly tedious typing lesson? YES to all of the above!

Everybody who wants an easy and fun way to learn to type (and believe me - I've already tried some of the so-called fun typing programs) good old fashioned Mavis is still the best in the game!
