Great for kids!

Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2007

I have three boys ages 10, 8 and 6. All three have enjoyed the Jumpstart typing. I have purchased other typing programs that are labeled age appropriate for kids but find that the games that are offered are not for very beginning typists. Jumpstart Typing has been a great start for even my youngest son as it matches the level of the typist and grows more challenging as they become better at typing.

Jumpstart Typing (PC & Mac)

Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2009

Am sure this is a good product - just NOT for a Mac with and operating system of OS 9.2. What was sent (2 times) was for current operating systems. Should not have advertised that it worked for older operating systems. Very disappointed.

Jumpstart Typing (PC and MAC)

Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2011

This product will not work on Mac. The plastic wrapper states that it will work for Mac or PC. When I opened the product, I found out that it was only for PC. Can't return it because I opened it. Not happy with this purchase at all.

SpongeBob Typing is more Fun

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2007

My 7 and 9 year old boys could benefit from learning touch typing. I bought this program and they used it over Christmas vacation, but then never went back. I also bought SpongeBob typing and found it was more engaging. They still don't know how to touch type, but at least this is a first step.

tried to run go window 7 and everything was upside down, About 10 years ago it taught our three oldest grandchildren's to type. They (being in college now) thank that game.

Typing for Kids

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2005

I purchased the most recent typing tutorial, JUMP START TYPING, for my daughter, age 8, knowing that she had enjoyed the JUMP START grade school programs, but not sure if she was ready for typing. I was extremely pleased to see her after one sitting, at the keyboard, her hands in the proper position, typing 3 words per minute, and enjoying it. The games are fun, and expections are tailored to each individual's ability.

Attention Mac Users!

Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2005

This program claims that it works on Mac OS X, but it does not. The company has not responded to our messages, so do not expect tech support if you have problems. We researched the product & system requirements carefully before ordering and are disappointed that we have no idea how the program actually is. Beware of false advertising by JumpStart.

Am happy with JumpStart Typing for my 9 year old daughter.

Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2005

My daugher has happily substituted the games in JumpStart Typing for the Neopets arcade games she was playing before. The program does a good job at enforcing acquiring new material by having a "team strength bar" that dimishes to zero as you make mistakes while playing; to play more, you have to do some lesson work until it is back up to 100%. It also steadily makes the games harder as you learn more letters and get better. The result is overall quite a bit more work than just playing regular games, but the net is still positive. However, some parental encouragment is needed;our rule is that JumpStart Typing time is unlimited, after homework and other duties have been met, while all other computer use is limited to 90 minutes a week. The other typing programs I looked at woudl all have required a little more parental help and encouragement. A good value.
