Is this program something that a very smart (gifted) 9 year old could learn how to use, or is it just too advanced?

Absolutely. I'm way behind on the tech myself and find it not only easy but fun and fulfilling. I had and still have difficulty with photoshop, which was originally recommended for me. I was creating with this within 10 minutes after installation and had an idea of what I was doing. You can create digital paintings with ease and if you want, you can create a comic from ground up. Text, word balloons, everything. I love it!

My 10-yr-old grandson advanced faster than I did. His brother, age 7, lost interest the first time he used the frog function. He refused to start over and quit. The 10 year old went on line to look up new and harder board setups. He's really really into it.I have no programming background.

It's a pretty intense program. Not a great starter program. But if it would motivate you to exercise then yes but don't be Afraid to modify modify modify. The workouts are fun and motivating.

Yes and no. Good for all ages, but a nine year old might not be as taken with it.

I've played it with an 11- and 13-year-old, who are very smart! However, they also skipped a lot of words they didn't know, so as long as you let children do that, there are plenty of words/phrases that they can use.

Five year-old granddaughter with exceptional puzzle-solving skills loves it. As a retired teacher of Gifted, I would think puzzle-solving skills might be the first consideration. I would have used it in my Second Grade Class.

This is a great program for anyone who wants to learn how to type. Bought this program for the family and our teenage son is now a wiz typing on his desktop and laptop computer. He now types around 60-70 wpm. My wife uses the program also just to keep up her speed. She loves it. Good luck.

Nope! But other then that it's not a bad little computer for a kid. I bought it for my 8 year olds birthday. It's good as a learning computer for kids. It's more of a tablet, but shaped like a computer.

It might be a little advanced for that age. Our younger grandson is 6. I can't remember if he was able to "get it" or not, but the 8 year old did fine.

I think a 9 year old could do it. I bought it for a 6 year old - he and his Mom did it -- but he did much of it himself.Frank

I'm not sure, it's very confusing and nonsensical. This is a Windows based version of the program.

Andie. Yes you can use this program to complete the task you ask about. I am still stumbling through all that - - but I have used it for those task. Thks Donnie

Yes, it would be great. There is a 30-day free, trial version that he can download. At the end of that time, he should know whether or not he likes it. That's what I did, and after the trial period I was hooked.

Yes, sort of. He may not know what some of the items are, but with kind players, it could be explained or the 8 yr old could draw something else on the list that he did know. Sometimes my 9 yr old is in the same situation and we just roll with it. He loves the game.

I think it would be very difficult for a 9 year old. They aren't going to know most of the answers.

It has more "gadgets" which makes it more challenging. My 9 year old had a little trouble with it because there are so many options to press, but he still likes it.

You can tailor the program to focus more on speaking and understanding for younger learners and you can track their progress with the homeschool function, but otherwise I think the overall content is the same as the adult program. I kind of wish it was more fun and engaging for little kids, but my kids think its kind of boring, but they do it anyway. They are 7 and 4. I have to help the 4 year old because she can't read yet, so its not as awesome as I had hoped, but there's really nothing better.
