Whenever a customer needs something specific such as larger font or grayscale; I am able to assist and resend the lessons to meet their needs. Most typing books are in 12 point font which is difficult for students to really view successfully. Your comments were so helpful that I am using a couple of them in my next ad!LeanneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062066213362567705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151049058887204920.post-18242764236382640072012-08-16T19:42:05.511-05:002012-08-16T19:42:05.511-05:00Leanne, Thank you for commenting on my review. I a...Leanne, Thank you for commenting on my review. I appreciate it!!!! I should let you know that I almost always make a list of pros and possible cons for most products. I try to see things from the perspective of others, so several of the items on the list of possible cons may or may not apply to me but they may apply to my readers. I am so glad to hear that this course was developed for one semester. How many months do you consider a semester (3-4 months)? I did mention in the review the need or option to repeat the course if necessary. I provided a link to the FREEBIES page and mentioned the extra lessons in my review under the pro list. I also mentioned the newsletter samples and downloads towards the end of my review. I printed the pages in color; however I listed the printing issue as a possible con, because so many individuals can't afford to print e-books due to ink cost. Gray scale is definitely an option to help save costs. I hope those reading the review see your comment, so that they'll know the font size can be adjusted to meet the needs of the learner. I listed the font size as a pro because it was larger than usual, but it is also mentioned as an improvement (increased size for preschoolers). My daughter did pretty good with the 20 point font size, but then I started to notice she was squinting and losing her place ... so making the font size larger for the younger students might help. The funny thing is her eye sight is awesome - perfect. I mentioned the keyboard because the slight wording differences confused Alyssa at first - I like to make my readers aware of any detailed issues that may arise and the need to explain it to the child before beginning lessons. Our keyboard does not have the number keypads so we missed out on that lesson. I am not sure why it doesn't have one ... I thought all keyboards came with it. Thanks a bunch for stopping by and clarifying the time needed to complete this book. It was GREAT hearing from the actual author - a fellow Texan!

Thank you for the awesome review! You wer...Tracey,<br /><br />Thank you for the awesome review! You were very detailed. It is great to hear that your sweet Alyssa did so well in learning how to type.<br /><br />I wanted to answer some of your concerns: 1)Yes, there are slight differences in keyboards but unless it is a Dvorak; the alphabetic and numeric keys are the same. 2)The course was developed to last one semester and then can be repeated if needed. 3)Extra lessons are provided on the FREEBIES tab and with the monthly newsletter. 4)Printing full color can be pricey so many opt to print gray scale instead. 5)The font size can be adjusted if someone needs this. Just email me and I can go back and make some adjustments to meet your needs. Most textbooks use up to 12 point font so increasing it to 20 was a huge change for students. I wanted to provide the font change for younger students and those with visual challenges.<br /><br />I am available for any comments or questions at l.beitel@christiankeyboarding.com.LeanneBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062066213362567705noreply@blogger.com
