There are free internet programs but none are as good as this. My kids love the games part of the CD but it all so clearly laid out with very simple instructions that my 8 year old is getting the hang of it. After working the lessons for about an hour my oldest daughter mastered the finger keys and after only a few more lessons is really typing! Best Typing Program By bbon JanuI bought 'Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing' for my 8 and 10 year old girls. There's also a ten key learning portion of the program (as with the older versions as well) The interface also has been spiffed up very nicely with pleasing graphics a whole array of new and actually fun games.īravo to Broderbund for setting the bar to new heights in this program. All features have become very practical and user friendly. This has really been turned into a very fine program and out of all the programs out there (I've tried alot of them) this one without question gets the highest recommendation. I should also add that these articles are legitimate or legitimate style articles that are actually interesting and fun to type (such as outtakes from Ben Franklin's biography, to scientific articles, many topics) unlike those boring, fake ones that usually are in place on typing programs (which make you feel like you're back in elementary school) and you can even import your own text. This is a great practicing tool for after you learn all the keys and want to stay sharp. Mavis Beacon 20 (I have only tried the platinum edition) also has a new practice feature which I haven't found anywhere else, where you can choose from a huge selection of articles where you just type right along with the text while the text you type appears in the lines in between the text to type (no looking halfway down the screen to see mistakes), errors appear in red and make a little noise to let you know that they have occurred.
