Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great product--download the patch to play on WindowsXP
Thanks to the previous reviewer who recommended downloading the free patch from the Read, Write, & Type website, we had this up and running in ten minutes. This is a fabulous program and my 8 year old with dyslexia and dysgraphia loves it. She is gaining a lot of confidence in typing. In addition, typing while learning to read is much easier than writing while learning to read. I highly recommend this.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Typing Software
I have a second grader with dyslexia who needs to learn typing. We started off using Typing with Timon and Pumba and found the program to be horrible. Like many typing programs, it assumed that you are a fast, strong reader. This program was great! Not only did it teach typing, it also worked on reading, writing, and phonemic awareness. All information is presented orally and gets progressively more challenging difficult. My kid is no fool to "educational" video games and is not crazy about most games that teach as you play. That being said, she loves this game and wants to play longer everyday.

After purchasing this game, I realized that it only ran on Windows 95 machines. We no longer have any computers that use 95... I visited the Read Write Type website (http://www.readwritetype.com) and found a fix to the program. It is a simple download that includes installation instructions.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Old Software
This software is for OLD computers. It is a waste of money to buy it in 2008.


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Beware - Only works on very old O/S
I bought this assuming it would work with either our 2-yr old Windows PC or our 2-yr old or 5-yr old Macs -- It was only compatible w/ Windows 95 or extremely old Mac O/S and would not work with any of our computers. Worthless and extremely disappointing to my 7-yr old. Beware!!!


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Check Operating System before purchasing
I bought this assuming to would be current with my Windows XP-- It was only compatible w/ Windows 95 and would not work.
