KID'S TYPING
Spooky, a talkative ghost who resides in the attic of a charming all-American home, has taken on a fantastic mission: to teach children how to type with joy and enthusiasm. With a playful personality, Spooky embraces humor and engaging games as key tools in making the learning process enjoyable for kids.
What sets Spooky apart is his built-in intelligence, which allows him to adaptively create lessons tailored to your child's unique abilities. This means that as your child improves in their typing skills, Spooky will continuously generate new lessons that target their specific typing accuracy and speed. This ensures that the learning experience remains both challenging and fun!
The program begins with simple lessons that help children become familiar with the keyboard layout. Through interactive exercises, kids will learn about the location of each key, which is crucial for building a strong typing foundation. This initial stage is designed to boost confidence as young learners embark on their typing journey.
As children progress, they will encounter a variety of exercises and games that are both educational and entertaining. These activities not only teach typing skills but also challenge common problem areas that learners might face. By integrating gaming elements, Spooky keeps kids engaged and encourages them to practice regularly.
To help parents stay informed about their child's progress, the program includes printable reports. These reports offer insights into the child's development, highlighting their strengths and identifying areas that may need a little extra attention. This valuable feedback allows parents to support their children's learning effectively.
Some key features of the KID'S TYPING program include:
Interactive and Engaging Lessons: Each lesson is designed to captivate children's attention while delivering essential typing skills.
Adaptive Learning: The program adjusts the difficulty of lessons based on a child’s performance, ensuring that learning remains appropriate for their skill level.
Diverse Typing Exercises: Activities range from fun games to timed challenges that improve speed and accuracy.
Progress Tracking: Parents can track their child's typing journey through detailed reports that showcase improvement over time.
Kid-Friendly Interface: The user interface is designed with children in mind, making it easy for them to navigate and enjoy their learning experience.
In conclusion, KID'S TYPING is more than just a typing program; it is an enriching experience that combines fun and education. With Spooky as their guide, children will develop valuable typing skills that will benefit them for years to come, all while having a ghostly good time!

For Windows (32-bit Systems) / Mac (Power Macintosh: OS 9 or Below) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']
WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
