The program does an excellent job of tracking up to 5 individuals' progress, with printable graphs and reports. Type to Learn introduces letters two at a time, and then drills them into the user's neural memory by repetition and integration with keys previously learned.

"Practice, practice, practice." Not only is that the way to Carnegie Hall, it's apparently the only way to learn how to type. Use was relatively intuitive for our reviewers, after they discovered that navigation between features required going to the menu bar, and selecting "Window," then "Chose activity." We did note, however, that a full installation of the floppy disk version would require 30 MB of hard drive space, an amount not likely to be found on many CD-less machines. Our reviewers reported no problems in installing the CD version of Type to Learn on their PC's. Several, in fact, reported that they spent an "inordinate amount of time" in the "Blast-off" practice game after their kids had departed! (The games are analogous to real-world typing, in that errors require you to start over.) Type to Learn's games and speed drills can be "just as challenging for an adult learner, as for a youngster," according to our parent reviewers. Presented in a factual and straightforward manner, there are neither rewards nor chastisements for the user's efforts. Keyboard instruction makes use of simple hand and key animations, with audio instructions correcting mistakes and repeating directions. With each lesson, there are also corresponding practice games and speed building exercises.
Twenty-two lessons illustrate everything from proper posture and hand position, to the correct finger selection for every key on the keyboard, including the dreaded numbers and punctuation.
