Default Learning to keyboard (type) - recommend software for older kids

One of the summer assignments (from me) for my 11 year old son going into 7th
grade next year is that he learn to keyboard. It would help him with
assignments, now that some can be turned in typed (his handwriting is
atrocious), and he's falling into a hunt-and-peck two-finger habit when he
does
type which I don't want to set in.

What is a good software program for this? Windoze98.

Thanks,
Banty


My son just bought Mavis Bacon Teaches Typing, and it seems pretty good.
I've noticed that they have one titled "Mavis Bacon Teaches Typing for
Kids"; don't know if it's better than the "regular" one or not -- I
suspect that it may be more game like and have readings that would more
appeal to kids.
