Jump Start Typing

Old software. Expect bad graphics and cheesiness.

My little guy is only 6 and most typing programs out there were just too advanced for him. Now he loves this one. Easy to use and he is learning tons from it.

This was an old program and not even compatible with my older Windows 7 PC

First of all, let me start by saying that we are members of the jumpstart website which offers great education games. The graphics are amazing on this website. This game however, was written a while ago and the graphics are very old school. My eight year old will practice her typing but only if prompted because she just isnt into it as much as she is on the website. Too bad the website doesnt offer typing! This game encourages proper hand placement and basic keyboarding skills but the games are a bit repetitive and the reward levels dont offer much incentives.

Im giving it 1 star because it does not work. it will start up but when I push play it shuts down.

Fun game. My kids are getting better at typing. My program is not playing the extra videos that are supposed to teach extra typing tips.

It only plays in small screen mode.

Fun program for kids 5-9 especially boys, Mine thought it was just as fun as any DS game. And it did help them to learn the keyboarding positions and speed up on their keyboarding skills.

Great.

This cd is fun for the kids. It really keeps them interested in learning to type
