Software Reviews of Type to Learn 4: Agents of Information (Home Version)

Customer Review: Great software for kids of all ages!
Summary: 5 Stars

Type to Learn 4 is great for kids of all ages. I have twins who are 6 years old. They were very excited to "learn to type" like Mommy! This software pre-tests the child in the beginning to see where their typing abilities lie. The pre-test is a bit long for slower typists, but my kids were determined to finish it. It then placed them in a certain level based on their pre-test score & began "teaching" them proper hand placement, etc. Just as we were getting a bit tired with the lessons, it asked us if we would like to "take a break & play a game." That was all my kids wanted to hear! They then got more excited & were very interested in the games. The games involve "typing" of course, but in a fun way. The kids didn't even realize they were "learning" while they were playing the games. They were engaged in the games & were actually typing with proper hand placement! They ask me to play the "typing" games every day now. They look forward to seeing their score improve and therefore move up levels in the "games." I would recommend this to anyone who wants to teach their child to type and/or improve their typing abilities. It was even a great refresher course for me!

It was super easy to install also -- just pop in the CD & follow easy step by step instructions! Works perfectly each time we use it!
