Summary: Great product
Comment: I think this product is great. It was easy to load. My son was typing, using the right keys, within two weeks. He really enjoyed it because he loves Spongebob. Any other software would have been boring for him.

Summary: more practice
Comment: We tried Typer Island (9yo kid) and being deserted on a island with a lousy typing game is child abuse. I read the reviews for SpongeBob and bought it! It was much better, but still a bit of a struggle. It advanced my child too fast during the lessons stating she had mastered keys at 100% accuracy but she was achieving only 8-10wpm (words per minute). The drills should be built into the lessons and associate mastering with specific levels of adjusted (accounts for errors) wpm. VERY IMPORTANT! Your child needs to "play" regularly, 4-5/week. Have your child review the previous lesson games while they move on to more lessons. The picture of the kyeboard during the lessons really help with the touch typing and keeping the eyes off the hands.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: Great product. The kids love the animation and the familiar characters. They ASK to play it. I don't have to argue with them to practice their typing.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Fun for kids
Comment: Full of games that make typing fun, but doesn't seem to have enough repitition to make the process stick. Still, it was worth the $3 I paid for it. Works perfectly with my MAC.
