My son used Garfield's Typing Pal for 6 years. His hands had to be big enough to type on a standard keyboard. He absolutely loved this program. He wasn't even "into" Garfield when he started (you can turn the characters off - or choose male, female, etc). What he loved most was the stastical analysis of all of his work. There's more than just speed and accuracy. Each finger has it's own listing of the two, and you can track improvement over time. I only paid $15 for this program and it was some of the best money spent on education. It's good for beginners to adults. I loved having all the data also. It has fun ways of learning and many customizable settings.
