We have been using this item for our three children for our school at home and have been amazed at the results! All of our kids have learned how to type in a very short period of time - a week! Because the work is "fun," the kids want to do it and enjoy the success of being able to type. It still needs some oversite from a parent, but it is very minimal and simple. I would recommend this product highly. p.s. we have also tried Mavis Beacon and don't like this program very much in comparison to Typing Instructor.

I have twin 10 year olds and a 12 year old. They have all been "forced" to use this at least once a week for 30 minutes! I say "forced" because, they (of course) would much rather play a video game than a typing instructor! Ha! But, I have seen improvement in all three of them since Christmas. However, they have grown bored with this, so I am searching for a different typing CD-ROM. For the money, it is a nice beginner program!

My eight year old son liked this SW so much - he wanted me to write a review. All three of our sons (twin 8s and 10 years old) are learning to type fast...
