A Kid's Review

This review is from: Type To Learn 3 (CD-ROM)

In school we were learning how to type, and used type to learn 3. This product is brilliant. It teaches you how to type, let's you get used to new keys, and challenges you the better at typing you get. I'm now one of the best typers in my school! This is a MUST buy!!!

This product is better than average in providing a developmentally sound sequence. Like the others it doesn't allow a choice to go back and practice a letter sequence over and over to mastery, the sequences are generally too short for development of good motor habits, and the rhythm is frequently interrupted by game-like sound and graphics. Less than half the time spent using the program is actual keyboarding practice. May be better than nothing, depending on the individual user's ability to bridge the interruptions and spend enough meaningful time practicing. Kids definitely need continual adult supervision to maintain correct posture and fingering.
