What is the best program for teaching a 6th grader how to type. Mavis Beacon is kind of boring. Are there any more interesting programs out there?
I was a programmer for about 10 years before I learned to type. I used Ten Thumbs Typing Tutor that I got from Download.com. It has a couple of games (maybe more by now, it was several years ago when I used it) that helps keep things interesting.
You can download it on to your computer for a free trail version.
My son’s school uses UltraKey. Here is their web site .
