Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Almost 5 stars...Reply to Bertha
We have really enjoyed this product. It is much more patient than I would be if I were the teacher! :) The program is very flexible and offers a lot of variety. I am reluctant to give it five stars because one of the games (piano metronome) is difficult to understand and use, and there is no option to remove it from the repertoire. Otherwise, it is really a great product. In response to Bertha's comment about period spacing. In the user settings (accessible at the welcome screen) you can choose ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - spacing after periods (reply to Bertha)
...I, too, was taught typing in the days of manual typewriters when everything was the same width. In those days, it did make sense for two spaces to follow every period.

However, the rules have changed. Typing Teachers who were trained in the last few years have learned that one space after periods are okay. As Brenda said, in the days of typesetting with variable spaced text, one space after a period looks great. Just look at any article in your newspaper, and I bet you'll see just one ... Read More

Two spaces at the end of a sentence is the rule for typewriters, which use monospaced text (each letter takes up the same horizontal space as all the others).

There is no need to type two spaces after a sentence when using proportionally spaced type; a single space looks better than two. (My professional experience includes computerized typesetting ...

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Spacing after punctuation marks
The Mavis Typing program should space two (2) spaces after the following punctuation marks: Period, Colon, Question Mark, and exclamation point. I have been teaching Office Occupations for over twelve (12) years and have been typing for over 40 years. The inventor of the typewriter has always placed two spaces after the above punctuation marks because it usually means a pause. When a student types on this program, an error mark shows if two spaces are used. Why can't Mavis use spaces the way typists have ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great tool for typing
I purchased this from Best Buy for 10 bucks. My mom told me that there is no price for something you learn. I think about it, and I really agree. I mean, we waste so much money on games and then when something educational comes up we hesitate.

This is a great learning tool for the whole family. I love the setup and graphics, they're simple yet neat. They are also appealing. This program can teach you how to type even if you never ever typed before.

I am a fast typer (not bragging, 65 wpm ... Read More
