Jump Start Typing

My kids were very excited at first but then became very uniterested and frustrated with it. I wouldnt recommend, my children are 6 & 8 yrs. old.

This CD typing game is just like the old one :) Im so glad that the company made one compatible to the computer systems of this time period. I used to play this CD when I was around 9. Now my 6 and 7 yr old brother and sister plays it too :) we even found the old one! The newer one has a different opening screen and starts up a little faster. But, everything else is the same! For first timers, dont fret about the first timed test. It is actually better to type a little slower so that the goals are not set so high that your child/you is/are unable to achieve them.

My 10 year old son would spend hours playing (actually learning and practicing typing) if I let him. His typing/keyboarding has improved in a very short time.

My little guy is only 6 and most typing programs out there were just too advanced for him. Now he loves this one. Easy to use and he is learning tons from it.

Bought for my granddaughter she liked it.

This older version of the cd-rom is outdated and has MULTIPLE installation issues - literally took me HOURS to install it after un-installing add-on and updating drivers that came with the installation.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.

works on windows 98 and nothing newer~

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

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.

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.
