Mesmerized [Posted on 2006-07-03]
My son is 8. Once he got going on it, he was hooked doing it all afternoon. He liked the %grade he received while learning. Of course, Sponge Bob and team make it goofy enough to be really fun. The only hassle we had was getting the CD to run. I had to uninstall, then re-install...but then it worked great on XP. His teachers in school wanted him to work on keyboarding skills over the summer. This one does it! AND it works on XP, where Mavis Beacon did not, at least up until recently.

annoying sounds distract from lessons [Posted on 2006-07-08]
Even if the lessons are well arranged, my 7-year old refused to progress past lesson 3 - the sounds are "baby-ish" and "annoying" and if you turn them off, you lose the benefit of the instruction. You're basically stuck with the sound track and may be forced, like me, to look for another typing software...

A fun typing game [Posted on 2007-01-09]
My eight year old daughter loves this game. This game teachs kids enough basic skills of typing but parents still need to be involved to make sure the kids use the right fingers.

Excellent [Posted on 2007-01-11]
sponge bob is currently popular with the kids and this utilises that to help educate them, great
