FREE Dance Mat Typing Program

I read Jamin and her son's review over at the HomesteadBlogger Company Porch Blog for the FREE Dance Mat Typing program and it sounded interesting so I thought I would check it out. I thought it was great! What a clever way to learn to type. Jamin's 12 year old son recommended it, but would 7 year old Boo like it? It was definately a challenge for him, but he liked it and asked if we could keep doing this for homeschool. At 7 years old he certainly doesn't NEED to learn to type right now, I don't believe young children should spend a lot of time on the computer anyway. But he's interested in it and it's a skill that is surely going to benefit him in the future. So maybe I'll fit this in to our homeschool schedule once a week-ish.
