Rating: - Great product
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.

This product was worth what I paid for it, all of my children enjoy the software. I would recommend it to any parent who wants thier child to learn how to type without them loosing interest.This product delivers, Not only are the games fun but they are learning while having fun and I think that is what we all want as parents, we want our children to enjoy learning and I feel that is what this product offers; Fun Learning.
Rating: - more practice
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.

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.
Rating: - Fun for kids
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.
