 Excellent program to learn to type with Nov 04, 2003
About three or four years ago, my parents forced me to sit down and work with this program until I could type fast. Thank goodness they did! Now I enjoy computer programming, creative writing, and surfing the Internet at a much faster speed. I don't have the speed of a professional typist, obviously, but including errors my typing speed is on average over one hundred words per minute. Parents - if you want to help your kids out, get them this or a later version of this program. I'm not in high school yet, but I'm already enjoying the benefits of getting my work done well and efficiently.

 Great Except.... Mar 13, 2001
This is generally a great program. The Games are fun (especially the road race). What I don't like about it is that in this one exercise where you're supposed to type in time with a metronome, the metronome is completly off beat with the music that plays! it makes it very hard to keep time with the metronome and not the music!

THE BEST!!! Apr 19, 2006
I am 16 years old now. I use Mavis Beacon when i was about 9 for a few months. I felt like it wasn't working so i stopped and perodically did it once in a while until i was 10 or 11. I am now in the 10th grade. I have never taken a computer class or typing class in school and I type at 56 adjust words per minute. People ask me how i learned to type as fast as i do at a young age. When i was in the 6th grade i typed at about 40 adjust wpm. which is still pretty good! It may seem like it's not working but in the long run you'll start to type while watching tv etc. As a matter of fact, I'm looking at the tv right now as I type this review. lol! This program is GREAT! It really works, especially for younger kids. It's not hard at ALL and has really great games. It may be a challenge at first but soon you'll be typing much faster than when you start to use it. I HIGHLY recommend this program. It is VERY good!!!!
Excellent product! Jan 11, 2007
By Mary Ragna Yetter
This is a fun program and yields immediate results. My children couldn't wait to give it a try and I have high hopes that given a little more time, they will make huge progress towards being effiecient typers! I had fun too! It employs your competitive spirit to do a little better the next time - addictive.
learn to touch-type.... Nov 07, 2004
It's fun....i've gotten almost up to the hardest level of the touch-typing. There are many games that help you learn to touch-type, yet they are fun. There are many courses to go through, and you have to always sign in as a WHATEVER user. Don't be fooled by its' cover, it looks wierd, but once you start typing, you can't stop!!!!
