Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) Reviews 369

TTRS has been transformative for my Dyslexic 8 year old. The benefits of learning to touch type, improvements in reading, spelling and comprehension are self-evident, but perhaps the biggest win has been a noticeable improvement in my son's ability to concentrate for set periods. Initially, I had to stay with him as he did each module, but as he progressed into Level 2, he has become increasingly self-sufficient with only the occasional call out from me in a neighbouring room if I hear the dreaded word "backspace". Take advantage of the trial, you wont regret it.

Have used the programme for a long time and it always delivers. My cohort of students have additional needs and they are able to use and enjoy the work. The certificates and percentages give them a great sense of achievement. It is an integral part of my technology area.

This is such a great programme. I have young people who have tried other programmers and didn’t continue them. They love this one. Thank you.

I love that you can put your own spelling list. I break them up into syllables or groups of letters! My daughter has been doing great on spelling! Love it!

My son is dyslexic. Reading has been such a battle. After starting TTRS, his reading/spelling began to improve. His confidence grew as well. I only regret not starting TTRS sooner. I'm so grateful.

This is an amazing programme fir students!!! It helps to learn how to type, to spell words properly, to read and learn the words. It is a unique literacy programme.

It has left a positive impression for my 7 yr old. She thinks she is learning a game. She loves sending us updates of her accomplishments via messenger.

This course is amazing for children diagnosed or suspected to have Dysgraphia. My son benefited enormously from the skills he learnt. Thank you!

My son has several learning differences including ADHD, Dyslexia, and Dysgraphia. Physical writing and spelling have been so difficult for him. He has been eager to learn how to "type quickly" like I do and when I discovered TTRS I knew it would be a great solution. Most spelling programs we have tried haven't helped or have overwhelmed him and even caused him physical pain due to the amount of writing. I love knowing that he is getting spelling practice while learning a skill he is excited to learn. He has grown in his confidence in spelling and typing and he hardly even realizes he is practicing spelling while typing.

My dysgraphic son is benefiting from typing practice that also builds his spelling skills and confidence

It's helped my daughter a great deal with her focus and spelling, while helping her learn to type.

My dyslexic 12 year old is using this, after his big sister completed the scheme via secondary school. She now types at 50 words per minute and it’s been invaluable for helping her get good GCSE results. Touchtyping also increases confidence for dyslexics to express themselves and this course is encouraging and interesting. Well worth the subscription!

We have been using TTRS for over 10 years. An excellent program for learning touch-typing and they are always adding new content. Great support staff also.

My kids are learning to type and spell at the same time!

My son Jacob was home educated,he has mild dyspraxia.He started TTRS at age 9 as he struggled to hand write at the time,we wanted Jacob to learn keyboard skills and spellings ect.Jacob used this app daily as part of his curriculum.He is now nearly 16 and will be going to collage in September!Jacob is a fluent very fast touch typist!keyboard skills are excellent,he also is a great English language/lit student and a fantastic communicator!we believe that TTRS has really helped Jacob to excel on all the above,he thrived on being able to express himself via touchtype.The app is brilliant and it's been a big part of helping Jacob to thrive,I would fully recommend anyone to try it! We are excited for our sons future as he wants to be an author! Thank you TTRS.

Excellent reinforcer, S-R Bond develops muscle memory..............game changer in learning.

Very happy with Touch-type Read Spell. Easily accessible and great the way it shows progress to each individual student. No problem adding more students during the year as the need arises.

Although TTRS seems to provide great support to a wide range of students, it is an invaluable support especially for students with learning disabilities like my son who are home educated. In addition to eye and hand coordination, feeling the keys and hearing the words also contribute to concentration. If you have a child with whom you think you can sit at the table even for a short time, you should subscribe to this program without hesitation.

It's a brilliant typing program. My demand avoidant, multiply-neurodivergent teen will at least do this one (no other program has worked), and sometimes he even enjoys it! It's definitely helping with his spelling. He loves the fact that you use all the rows from the beginning - he says that's less boring than the weeks he's had to spend on the home row in other programs.

One can learn many subjects through touch typing and Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) is exciting and educational. For example, one can study GCSC Biology, business studies, chemistry, physics, geography, etc. I like these courses enormously!
