Customer Reviews

Garfield Typing Pal
I received the item quickly. I had read reviews that sometimes the code needed for the game would not be attached, but was happy to see that this item had the needed code. My son loves this typing program better than any others he's tried.

Absolutley fabulous tool for the home or classroom!
Don't bore your students with the mediocre computerize typing tools that most children have to endure while learning how to type. Garfield's a classically fun way to introduce the proper way to maneuver the fingers throughout the keyboard from the very basics of J & F all the way to full fledge paragraphs. There's even games for what teachers will love to refer to as "educational break time". Children and even adults can build your speed and confidence while having a bit of fun. Like the headline states, a great tool for the home or classroom, not to mention well worth the money.

Fun Learning To Type
This is a great little program to start your kids learning to type correctly. You won't really get a lot of speed from this software, but you will learn to type in a fun method.

I give it a total high-five!
