Jump Start Typing

I purchased for my daughter, and as a beginning typer I thought that this would work well for her. It might if she enjoyed playing it. I guess I was thinking of the old programs we used as youngsters in keyboarding class and this just isnt it. For older kids it may but for the younger age group I wouldnt recommend

I got this game for my god son and he has not used it yet but I know he will love it. I gave it a test run and it is so much better then the typing game I learned how to type on.

Just as the title says... I was very disappointed to find that these are the same graphics and games that I grew up on! my niece enjoys the game, but really why is this still being sold for more than a $1??

My son adores this CD Rom! I thought he would be bored by it easily, but he loved it and wanted to keep playing past time when home school ended. He is only 7 but he thought it was so fun and really felt motivated to keep going to the next level and get faster and less mistakes. He is already typing 18 wpm! Much better than I was when I began learning!I highly recommend this program for anyone, any age. My 12 year old will be learing to type properly next. The shipping was fast and everything arrived as expected!

I use this is my classroom as a center for my Kindergarteners thru 2nd graders. They love this and are learning to be successful typist.

It only plays in small screen mode.

My son who is 7 is just starting out typing, and I played this game and it is a lot more advanced then I thought it would be. Its more for older kids that have a lot more experience with typing.

This older version of the cd-rom is outdated and has MULTIPLE installation issues - literally took me HOURS to install it after un-installing add-on and updating drivers that came with the installation. NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE.

My seven-year-old son says Jump Start Typing isnt as much fun as Pokemonon his Nintendo DS, but, really, what is? With a bit of encourgement he does practice typing for 10 - 20 minutes a day. Im seeing progress, although it is still early.

its fun but more for small children. My son, 15, needs something more for adults... the program is based on games but games more interesting for small children in my opinion
