My son (9) loves it.	September 25, 2009
Reviewer: Cheryl L. from Shasta Lake, CA

He used to just use one finger typing however the way it is set up for children is great. He really likes the different "games"

...even dad and mom are playing...	September 25, 2009
Reviewer: Melody F. from Anthony, Florida

I was looking for a change up from the normal book work around my house, and decided to try Typing Instructor For Kids. Now it is the one thing I find my children doing at all hours of the day, even on non-school days! It is more like fun than learning and that is a wonderful thing! The music is annoying, but the speaker can be turned off, and we also have earphones. Yes, even dad and mom are playing games to see who can type the fastest! And to think I spent a whole school year taking a typing class and here my children are doing it at young ages, and for fun!! Yeah!
