But my kids' favorite is Jumpstart Typing. It's a lot more fun for the younger ones than Mavis (which is what I used and liked when I needed to up my speed years ago).
I'm also a major Jumpstart fan right now, besides liking all but one of their products we've bought in the past, a couple years ago we bought a Jumpstart Typing game. Used it a few times on the old computer before that computer died. Got it out to try out on a different computer - same operating system. Didn't work. At all... tried it on the Vista computer as well... didn't work worse. E-mailed Jumpstart, and not only did the person there attempt to figure out why it didn't work, but it got pushed up a level or two and eventually I got a completely *new* copy - a version newer than the one we'd bought, in the mail, in under a week - no charge for the new disk or for shipping - and they'd offered it, I never asked.
