Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) Reviews 369

My son has moderate Autism, in addition to a severe speech delay. This program has been absolutely wonderful for him. He is 14 years old and really wants his independence. This has effectively allowed him to work independently and gain confidence in reading. Typing is a very usable skill. Realistically his future might be a computer based job. Games can be frustrating with ASD, so I appreciate the no nonsense approach.

My son uses touch typing and he really likes it.

This is straightforward, not gimmicky, no ads, and actually helps my kids learn to type and practice spelling. It’s the best!

Great instruction and great customer service for any help we may need. My kids really enjoy it!

Offered a nice scholarship to make the program affordable and help my son keep using the program. They make things so easy. I was having an issue signing up and they answered right away and got it fixed.
Program helps with spelling and typing. It has been a wonderful help to help build my son’s finger muscles . Definitely worth it.

Really helpful. Very quick responses to questions. A fantastic programme that makes a big difference to students struggling with reading/language.

My son has been using TTRS everyday. He has ADHD and previously struggled to type anything. Now, he's made progress with this program and doesn't mind the daily practice.

Touch type read and spell is brilliant to teach your child how to type and learn to spell and read at the same time. Everything now is computer work so I think it is very useful to be able to type correctly

We have really loved this program so far. The feedback is immediate and detailed, with lots of opportunities to work on improving overall fluency. As a homeschool teacher, I love all the controls and settings available to me.

I enjoy teaching touch typing with TTRS as it's user friendly and motivating for my students with dyslexia

Really happy with TTRS for my daughter. Lots of repetition and short modules so that she can see her progress and build on it. It’s also possible to go back and repeat modules. The only thing that’s awkward is that the system sometimes defaults to the ‘admin’ setting even though my daughter is the only one who uses it and always leaves it on her own profile. It’s not always clear which profile she is working on when she logs back in. That aside, though, it’s a great platform for learning to touch type!

This is a great program that my children can move through independently. Even my 8 year old uses it and loves it. All my children have dyslexia, so this has helped with reading and spelling for them also, all the while helping with the necessary skill of typing. My older boys want to learn to code, and this program is helping them learn to type proficiently.

My son is 14 and finds spelling very difficult. He missed the critical rules of spelling during his earlier grades which left him leaving out almost all of the vowels. He was basically pushed through grades K-3rd without knowing how to spell. I took him out of public school and started to homeschool him. We tried a bunch of the highly rated (and highly expensive) spelling programs through the last few years that were recommended through homeschooling groups. Not one program even came close to this! All of the spelling programs were far too baby-ish because we had to start out at lower levels. This discouraged him a lot. TTRS started out with small words but because it was considered a "typing program" he didn't feel discouraged starting off with small words.My son has ADD with visual processing issues so it's tough for him to retain most things. The program is great for anyone struggling to spell because it hits almost all of your senses. Typing the word, seeing the word and hearing the word all at the same time. I'm so glad I tried this for him because his spelling improved immensely! We have been using this for about 8 months and he finished all of the main levels. He is now using the extras that we just found in other subjects. It's the first subject he does every day. He is actually happy to use this program! He doesn't love learning or school in general so this is a big deal! There is only one thing I would change. Sometimes they do not use the word in a sentence so if you have multiple spelling and uses for the word, they may get it wrong. Even with that small, infrequent issue, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that struggles with spelling and have tried a lot of other programs without seeing progress.

TTRS is working really well for my dyslexic son. I'm surprised at how quickly he is progressing after just a few weeks with 15 minutes a day. It has really helped with his schoolwork and he is gaining confidence which will be of great benefit when he starts secondary school next year. I highly recommend.

Really great service

My 9 year old is home schooled. She really enjoys doing touch typing as part of her life skills. The course is so easy to use and she can sit and do it independently. She is looking forward to being able to type up stories as she grows in skill and confidence.

We have been using this for almost a year and she engages with it every week.

I would definitely recommend this package.

My 10 year old son has dysgraphia and ADHD. TTRS has been an amazing tool for helping him learn to type and also drastically improved his spelling. Learning to type has completely transformed his learning experience. I ask so grateful to the TTRS team for putting this product together!

Highly recommend TTRS - Great for children with dyslexia and learning how to type at the same time. This has been one of the most accesible and effective interventions we have used.

We have been using TTRS for years. My daughter really struggles with spelling and she has improved so much. She also loves doing it.

The way the programme has been designed has been beneficial to my husband who lost his words through stroke. He has been using it for about 20 years and still shows improvement after so many years all be it slowly,
