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

Bought for my granddaughter she liked it.

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.

worked great

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

This product does not work well at all. Very disappointed. I wished I would have listen to previous posts. Always liked Jump Start products but this one is no good.

You could probably find a little more up to date one because they werent really specific on what this one was compatible with so it didnt even work on my computer. Beware

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.

My ten-year old hated this program. The games were extremely juvenile and very boring. . . maybe would have been kind of fun at school in 1986 because it looked like something someone designed in 1986. I had to FORCE my millennial child to play this. I tried it a couple days in and realized it is actually really really bad. Additionally, the cd never really went over where to put your fingers. My son was still two finger typing. The whole point of purchasing this thing was to teach him to type. Now I am out $9 and my son is now very resistant to learning to type because he associates it with this horrible cd. Id say were worse off then before I purchased it.
