Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) Reviews 369

This app was just what I needed to improve my keying accuracy and speed.

Excellent as always

Very easy to sign up and get the children sorted with usernames and passwords. The children are delighted with the activities.The parents are happy that work and practice can be completed at home enabling them to see progress. Thank you

Great program to teach your kids to type. Great program and we have only used the typing portion of the program!!

App is very user friendly & my 9r old can easily navigate through the app & track his progress. He’s learning a lot and making great progress.

I have seen a significant improvement in teen's spelling after these first few months. Teen has ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia. The program sometimes has glitches with our slow internet connection which can be frustrating, but overall I am very pleased with our experience. I have tried several other recommended programs, but this is first time I have seen improvement.

This program is really helping my son! He is improving his spelling AND learning to type. He used another program previously but he told me this one is much better. I notice he is very motivated by the format of this program. 5 stars!

My son took this course a couple of years ago who has Dyslexia, ADD, and Autism. He took off with his spelling and typing. We loved the course so much we signed out daughter up for it, and she loves how fast she's learning.

Before subscribing I had a couple of questions which were answered very quickly and clearly. The subscription process was straightforward. The units of work are easy to access and the whole course is well designed. I will be joining a free webinair next week and I am really appreciating all the support which is available.

The Leicestershire dyslexia association have been using touch type Read and spell for many years. It supports many of our students both in our workshop and at home. Excellent resource for those with dyslexia and literacy difficulties

I was impressed with this program and after experiencing the trial with my grade 5 class, I am looking into purchasing. The students were engaged and I really liked the simplicity of the program. The auditory portion is beneficial to many types of learners, and integral for some. Give it a try!

I have been assisting my children over the years using the program and hadn’t had a chance to check out the updated features. Being that my children struggle at times with issues relating to their disabilities (both Autism and Cerebral Palsy, amongst others such as ADHD and severe anxiety), I am so proud that this program supports their wellbeing.

Other programs suggested would have challenges (sometimes timed) and tasks to ‘pass’ before being allowed to attempt the next level/module. This didn’t work for my children as one of them has a severe phobia of timers/countdowns/pressure to ‘achieve’ and another of my children has mobility issues (both gross and fine motor), making it impossible to complete the challenges in the allotted time. TTRS also covers many bases (fine motor skills, typing skills, spelling, English language in general, punctuation, grammar, skills in independence, identity and wellbeing, etc), which supports them in day-to-day life by reducing fatigue and cutting down on the time spent at a desk. All of the additional options (colours, backgrounds, etc) are incredible, as we can adjust to suit each individual child, being that some of them have sensory processing disorders!

TTRS is such a blessing, I thought I should let the team know how much we appreciate them!

I am doing a trial of TTRS and whenever I have needed help they are quick to respond.

My twins are learning to type via TTRS. The colored fingers help so they don't look at their fingers. It uses real words and reads the words to them.

It’s really fun learn really fun to learn

My teens love TTRS. It has been super helpful for them to improve their spelling and reading. I love the multi-sensory approach, as a pediatric Occupational Therapist, and give big applause to how it helps my own children!

We love TTRS . My daughters have grown so much in their typing skills! We are really thankful for the opportunity to have the scholarship ; for the opportunity for my girls to grow academically!

Great program for auditory, visual and kinesthetic learning. My kids enjoy it, so that says a lot for a typing program.

I am a volunteer tutor, currently working with a refugee who is trying to simultaneously learn basic English, learn how to use a computer (in general), and learn how to touch type (specifically) - the latter because she is visually impaired. The use of the TTRS program has been a tremendously positive experience for her!! She has been able to follow the lessons independently, track her own progress, and feels incredibly empowered as a result. Independence is important to all adults, but particularly to adults with visual impairment. This has been the highlight of her educational experience over the past 6 months. I would give it 10 stars if I could!!

As a homeschool parent it's difficult to know which spelling curriculums are beneficial and effective. I have found both to be the case with my son. I love the fact that this engages all of his senses so he is seeing, hearing, and engaging (by typing) the spelling of words. A huge bonus is that he is also going to be a proficient typist by the time he gets to middle school. I find this curriculum to be valuable and enriching.
