Do you mean typing programs? A friend of our recommended dance mat typing http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/typing/ It's free. I haven't had my son do it yet, but I've played around on it and it looks like it will be fun for him. He may eventually need more, but it's a good beginning program.

We have liked "Typing Instructor," but it is computer CD you purchase. It is inexpensive, independent, and easy to use. HTH! :D

Julie,
Which version of Typing Instructor was that? I was looking on CBD and saw a whole bunch of different ones. :D
