Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I bought this for my 7 yr old son. He loves the computer and he's a huge Spongebob fan. He immediately took an interest in the game. His typing noticeably improved after just an hour or two of playing the game.
There are two things that I dislike about the game. First, it has a lot of advanced activities that require some serious typing experience. However, there is enough low-level stuff to keep my son entertained. Second, it does not do enough to teach the proper hand positions. But it has helped my son better navigate the keyboard.
Overall, I'd recommend it.

Summary: Great typing lessons and fun for kids
Comment: I bought this product for my 9 year old. With all the video games out there I needed something that would keep his attention and teach typing at the same time. After reading other reviews I bought this product and my 9 year old loves it. I watched him play/practice and he's already improving. He'll even choose this over other video games. If your child likes SpongeBob and needs to learn typing this is a perfect product.

Summary: good, but not what I'd hoped.
Comment: This product is decent. My eight year old and his friends had a blast playing all the different typing games with their favorite characters. Installation and navigation through the program was easy. What it doesn't contain are the basics...the actual teaching of hand position and repetative learning of keystrokes by finger, that we all remember from typing class (jfjfjf kdkdkd lslsls etc. to learn where the keys are and which finger types them). There is one game that shows hand position, but it's not visually very clear, at least to me. I've kind of put this game away until we get a 'standard' typing tutor to teach him these basics first. Otherwise I feel that he is being encouraged to get really good at the hunt-and-peck method. It's too bad too, the game is really fun. It would be great for a child that already knows the basics and wants to practice in a game environment.
