 great typing program April 30, 2000
82 out of 83 found this review helpful
My children both think this is a great program. My almost-10 year old daughter likes it much more than Mavis Beacon that they use at school and my 7 year old son can even use it. They both have improved their typing skills enormously while having fun at the same time. I'd recommend this program without reservation!

I Loved this program! I started using it and I soon began to become a great typer. It helped me get to 56 wpm! My little brother only used it for awhile and he is one of the fastest typers in his class. (my brother is 9) It has fun games and it is challenging to get you motivated. I also know my younger cousins are having fun with the game too. It has funner games than Mavis Beacon.
Another Great JumpStart April 4, 2002

As a nine-year-old I was delighted to discover that this typing program fetured some of my favorite carecters: Botley the robot, his friend, Professor Spark, and the professor's mischevous daughter, Polly. After using JumpStart Third Grade, which came out in 1996 (JumpStart Typing came out in 1997), I couldn't help but notice that Polly has improved so much. Her worst was locking Coach Qwerty in the trophy room in her anger at getting kicked off the keyboarding team. All in all, this was the best JumpStart yet. Much better than Mavos Beachon.

My 7 year old loves this software..so do I. The first time he used it..he went from 6 wpm to 12 wpm..double..I was impressed. He was typing the drills without looking at the keyboard. I couldn't believe it. All the jump start programs are really wonderful.
 great! April 16, 2003

Oh my! I learned to type so fast, it works so well!!! You are in a gym, and you have to rescue the coach. You get cards to unlock him from a little jail, and at the end you get a trophy. I'm about to get my trophy for my 2nd game. It takes a while, you learn to type, and its just lots of fun! You'll love this item!
