I use Mavis with my adult keyboarding students. The step-by-step approach really works to give them confidence, and the rewards make them feel like they're getting somewhere.

As a home school parent teaching 4 children I am very happy with this program that has lessons that lead to games which help motivate the children.

When you take a test even if you are still a beginner you are given all of the keys(that you haven't learned yet). Seriously don't buy it. I am very disappointed because Mavis was such a good product.
Good for teaching kids to type/keyboard. September 28, 2008

This software loaded perfectly and works flawlessly for my kids (middle school-age). They follow the lessons easily. The practice games are a little young for them, but they don't object to them. The games do reinforce the lessons and provide a bit of a fun break.
Fifteen minutes, three times/week seems to be a good routine; and they are progressing.
Good product August 27, 2008

I am finding Mavis Beacon to be good for improving my typing skills as well as teaching my 8, 10 and 15 year olds to type. The kids find it fun and they learn at the same time.
