Utah Keyboarding Software Review

Software Title:  All the Right Type 3 Year Published: 
Suggested Age:  9+ years Rating:  State Approved
Description:  Basic keyboarding instruction in a simple but effective multi-level format. Students begin by learning correct finger reach, technique and posture, then reinforce through standard drills or the optional game mode. Further development occurs in the "Skill Building" area, which features speed and accuracy drills for each lesson. Students can test their progress in the "Testing Center", which tracks the user's speed, overall accuracy and problem areas, and reports the results in the "Records Library". Finally, the "Word Processing Plaza" opens a word processing application to allow students to create and save their own documents.  Also has a mouse skills section for younger students to practice mouse skills. The default word processor is Simple Text for Macintosh users, and Word Pad for Windows users. This default can be easily changed from the File Menu options.
