Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) Anmeldelser 371

This program is easy to use and has been fun for our 12 year old. We're still new to the program but this is the one thing my daughter gladly wants and asks to spend extra time doing. She loves this program!

This is an excellent, self-guided personalised programme that guides the learner, step by step, and records their progress. Very user friendly and engaging. Great for kids and adults alike and the extra bonus is that it is designed to support anyone with learning difficulties.

It's shocking that more primary schools don't use TTRS for pupils, whether struggling with spelling or not.
My son has spent hours in spelling groups laboriously looking at, writing, writing the word again, etc. Only to forget it when trying to write a piece of work later on. Touch typing is a crucial life skill that would benefit everyone and what a bonus that it also helps with spelling! Fantastic that the programme is not babyish, something that my 11 year old son is always sensitive about. Many children with extra learning needs often feel behind their peers and some programmes with lots of cartoons graphics make them feel a bit stupid which is obviously not the case!

I got great help from the library when I set up TTRS in our school . It is very easy to navigate around TTRS . My pupils also find it very easy to log on and work independently.

Fun and effective - my 12 year old child with learning challenges is thriving with this program PLUS he loves to do it!

I purchased this program for my son with dyslexia and dysgraphia. While language arts are normally a chore best avoided when writing is required, he LOVES TTRS! He chooses to do these exercises first. I had a feeling a tech and typing program would help him better express his intelligence. I am seeing improvement in his spelling and confidence. I am so grateful for TTRS!

Excellent program, great for teaching kids to type while learning reading and spelling

My daughter is 16, has Downs syndrome and is learning to type. Her low-muscle tone makes manual writing pretty difficult, and her verbal language can be hard to understand, but this course is opening doors for her! With typing she can get her thoughts and words down, so even people who don't know her can understand her. We love TTRS!

Easy to use and navigate for kiddo. Tutorial for parents to change spelling words would be great.

My daughter, 9, is really enjoying the typing program. The way each module is set up unto mini sections makes daily lessons achievable. No pressure to commit to a long session, she can learn at her own pace.

My son has more confidence knowing and identifying words since starting this program, it really does help

We have used this program for our 4 boys for 2 years now and we love it! It's easy for them to login and access their account themselves, and I feel confident they are getting good typing and spelling practice every day. It's easy to track their progress. As a homeschool parent, this program is a great asset to our home learning, especially for my kids with reading challenges.

We tried other typing programs for our homeschool, and this one is the best we've tried. For my dyslexic daughter, the way it integrates spelling, typing, and phonics is golden. We also love that there are themed units and that we can create our own modules using her spelling words or themes that appeal to her.

We are using ttrs in our school since Sept '21. Four children have started the programme. We are thrilled with the results so far!!

My children, ages 9 and 10, have been using TTRS for about 3 months. They both struggle with reading and one with handwriting. I discovered TTRS and felt it would be a supplement to our home education endeavors. I was right! Both boys really enjoy the lessons and score above 90% each time. It has improved their typing skills, reinforced their reading and spelling skills, and even reinforced maintaining good spacing in their handwriting. They now say "Space" after writing a word just as the typing program prompts which has greatly improved the legibility of their writing. More importantly, TTRS has increased their confidence which is sorely needed in those who struggle with language arts. We are so glad we discovered TTRS and have recommended it on the Homeschooling With Dyslexia FB group and with many tutors, psychiatrists and other professionals.

I was hesitant to try a new program, but TTRS has exceeded all my expectations. My daughter is learning fabulous typing skills while strengthening her spelling. Thank you for the great program.

This is a fantastic resource. Once you are set up, it is easy to use.

My school has been using the TTRS since the first time we introduced a touch-typing course.
It has been amazing ever since: a well designed program, only real words, a multisensory mixture of different approaches to learning to touch-type (you can type from seeing as well as hearing the words). As a teacher, I love the combination of the main program and the challenging "Subjects" and "Free writing" - differentiation built-in.
From the admin perspective, the TTRS team has ALWAYS been incredibly supportive, flexible and understanding of our needs and circumstances.
