User Submitted Disney's Adventures in Typing with Timon & Pumbaa Reviews (cont...)Date: 2000-06-12 Disney's Reading Quest with Aladdin Excellent entertainment and education. My son started on it when he was 4 - he'll soon be 6 and it's still one of his favorites. Excellent complement to Disney's Math Quest with Alladin. Great for both boys and girls - and parents too. Good audio-visuals and humour make parent-child sessions more interesting. Date: 2000-02-28 Good Game... Parts of it are a bit monotonous for young kids This game was purchased for my six year old. She is a pretty active kid...not a lot of computer experience yet. When she first began to play, she was very tempted to look at her fingers...I sat beside her and held a lg. piece of paper over her hands, which solved the problem. The first night she learned to type f,d,j and k. She liked to "shoot bugs" (by typing the correct letter) but mandatory pages of just letters was a bit frustrating for her. I think that this game should go a little slower and therefore be more of a game and less work. I rate this game a solid B. It seems that it would be perfect for an 8 or 9 year old. Date: 2000-02-13 Best keyboarding software for young students I consider keyboarding essential, especially once children have transitioned to cursive if not before. As an educational consultant, I wanted to actually try keyboarding software for younger children before recommending it. This title was by far the best of five I tried, with the most potential for children to place fingers correctly. It was one of the titles including posture and position illustrations at the beginning. While entertaining, the cartoon motivation and reinforcement moved quickly, so practice really is required. I didn't like the weird cave activity, but children are keyboarding adequately before they get to that last level. Designed well, the title I recommend for those too young for Mavis or when a lighter approach is needed. Date: 2000-01-05 Terrific Typing Teacher This program is a terrific typing teacher for the youngest beginner. My daughter is 5 and has been wanting to "use the keyboard" for a long time. She has really done well on her own to follow the directions of Rafiki who makes her practice many more times than he did me! So it really is true that the program adjusts for different levels. This program really is all I had hoped it would be from just reading the box. At the time that I ordered this program from Amazon.com there were not any customer reviews. Date: 1999-12-25 Great Intro to Typing So far, our 6 year old is quite taken with this disc. The disc focuses quite well on the basics of typing -- such as home row and not watching your fingers -- and offers "certificates" as levels are successfully completed.
