Lots of games, but need to know how to use them
Got this software for about half year. Was very frustrate at first. It's hard to navigate. My 8 years old and 5 years old both like typing at first. But if they accidentally hit the go button while they are still learning the home row key, they are forced to learn more keys. They can't come back to the home row key any more. Soon they are at the point that they can't handle so many keys and loose the interest. But recently I found a sneaky way to fix this. Under C:\Program Files\Typing Instructor for Kids, there are lots of sub directories contain all executables. I create lots of shot cut for all those executables and put them under one folder. Now my kids can play the games they like. They finally start to learn typing. I like those games which have choice to select only the keys you learnt, or only home row key. So that they can play while learning.
This actually seems to work, but start them young before they learn bad habits
I thought I had tried every kids' typing program and they were all as bad as each other. Mostly the same program with the same apples but different characters, and so difficult that I, a proficient typist for over 25 years, couldn't pass the tests.^M
