Deluxe is a program for ages 6 and up, but the whole family enjoys playing the spelling games, even the younger ones. They all work together to learn how to play the games, and then help each other with the spelling. Kid Works, from Deluxe-Davidson Kids can type their name and, with a parent's help, can write a story, make pictures, and print out. Lots of four year olds, and some younger ones, like to type their ABC's and numbers. They love being able to see the words appear as they type, as well as print out their work.
Some software is appropriate for younger folks at a good price.
