Having used this typing programme with dyslexic children at school, I decided to purchase it for home use for my Grandchildren. It is excellent, whether the children are dyslexic or not, great fun and the children do not realise they are not only learning to type correctly, but improving their spelling skills at the same time. It is never too early to teach correct typing as so many children move up through the school being unable to touch type.HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS !!!!!!!!!!!

There are many touch type teaching programs available, but few can come close to Nessy Fingers. I currently use this software at my school for all children in Primary, and they absolutely adore it. Even most of the staff have been sneakily trying it!
With just 5 basic lessons covering all areas of the keyboard, this software will have you touch typing in no time! The sizable selection of mini games allows users to regularly practice without getting bored ( Something even adults find difficult to do! ) and in-game achievements and trophies mean that children gain a great sense of achievement.
With multiple difficulty settings available, this software is suited to a huge range of abilities, and very much allows users to develop at their own pace, and the addition of user generated word lists means this software can be easily tailored to personal needs.
All in all, this is a great piece of software, giving Children ( And myself! ) a fun, easy way to develop their touch typing skills, in such a way they don't even realise it's educational!

Fun:
I type this on behalf of my 10 year old daughter who uses the programme and enjoys it immensly. It has been a great motivator in her aim to type faster and aid her learning. I can recommend it to others who have learning difficulties and want to get ahead with typing.
