Need typing program for 7th grader

[BusyMommy]

Does anyone know of a good typing program that is not too expensive, but fun for my 7th grader?

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing 16 is about $10.00
Typing Instructor Deluxe around $20-$30

We own both, and my eldest two prefer Typing Instructor Deluxe.

I have Typing Instructor for Kids and my kids really like it. I would think Typing Instructor Deluxe would be great for older kids. I plan to switch to it once my kids get a bit old and tire of the kids version. My kids have learned a lot with this program.

Great, thanks for the info, I will definitely be looking into these programs.

Timberdoodle carries it and it is not expensive.

My kids used Typing Instructor Deluxe too. I don't think any of them have needed to finish the program either. The best thing that helped to get their typing up to 'speed' was giving them email address to email their friends and each other. I also have my 7th grader type her papers for school. Once she started emailing, she picked up typing in no time and it also improved her spelling!
