 Did not work on Mac January 23, 2008
We had a previous version of this product for the Mac O.S. 9 which worked well. Somehow, we lost it and ordered this version which does not appear to work on Mac O.S. 9 or Mac O.S. 10. I could not even install it.
Wrong product shipped January 7, 2008
Was very disappointed to have the person I gave this to come back to me with the news that it does not work on the Mac. Even thought the description above has "(PC & Mac)" in it. Not worth returning.
 Jumpstart Typing September 22, 2007
Great beginning typing program for kids. Good graphics, entertaining "storyline", small goals along the way and "prizes" to be won. The progression of key introduction is slow and doable, as opposed to other programs out there.
Great for kids! 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.
SpongeBob Typing is more Fun 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.
