Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 40 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the program for its effectiveness in teaching typing, often noting significant improvements in their children's skills. Many people appreciate its multi-sensory approach, which is particularly beneficial for children with diverse learning needs, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, and autism. Reviewers also highlight the program's ability to enhance spelling, reading, vocabulary, listening, and concentration skills, leading to increased confidence in writing and overall academic progress. However, some customers also noted that the program can be frustrating at times, particularly due to the text-to-speech bot's pronunciation.

Additionally, some found the initial setup confusing, especially for Android tablets.

Accessible and effective

TTRS has made it very simple to incorporate not only touch-typing but spelling and phonological reinforcement on a daily basis. My students have a wide range of learning differences--ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, etc., and TTRS is accessible and helpful for them all. The support team is very responsive and provided live training that answered all of my teaching team's questions.

It's very useful to for the level screen to refresh and update automatically.

It's very useful to be able to monitor remotely what modules and levels students are working on.

It would be useful for the student level screen to refresh and update automatically once a module is completed. Instead of having to return to the main course overview and then click into the level again.

Excellent programme, support & customer service

I am an SEN, handwriting & now touch-typing tutor. I am so impressed with Touch-type Read & Spell, as an excellent multi-sensory learning programme, which works on so many levels & is all-encompassing for the dyslexic children I teach. It also a wonderful stand-alone a touch-typing programme. New to touch-typing tuition, I have been very grateful for not only the help online, including webinars, but also the above & beyond personal support I have received from Peter to get me started. The range of resources & articles available on the site is comprehensive & helpful. I can’t recommend TTRS enough!

Customize to fit child's needs

It took me a while to figure out that you can change pretty much everything you need to on the screens if you have overly sensitive kids. They have a variety of different dictation voices, and colors of the demonstration fingers for you to customize the program to your learner. I love the focus on not just typing, but also reading and spelling. It's a great program for my dyslexic, autistic child.

Great for typical and dyslexic kiddo

I love the way this program combines spelling and typing. My daughter is quickly making her way through the program and my son (with dyslexia), is working steadily and it is do-able for him. This is a great fit for our family.

Perfect for our non-verbal autistic son

Our non-verbal autistic son has found such joy in this typing program. His concentration and engagement are truly impressive, and with our guidance, he eagerly logs in multiple times a day to practice typing. The combination of repetitiveness, auditory and visual cues aligns perfectly with his preferences. A big thank you to the creators for providing an excellent tool that brings joy and learning together. We wholeheartedly recommend this program with a 5-star rating.

TTTS is exceptional for dyslexic children !

TTTS is hands down the best typing program available for dyslexic children! The subject variety is comprehensive and the customer service is by far the best I’ve ever encountered. I recommend this program to all of my homeschool mamas looking to add typing to their curriculum line up.

I highly recommend

I have used TTRS several times over a period of years for both of my children. They both enjoyed using TTRS in various ways. Typing for one of my children who struggled with writing it made their ability to write so much easier. I recommend highly if you have a child who is dyslexic or ASD.

Spelling

My son has really struggled with spelling. (He's being tested for dysgraphia later this month.) We've tried many different approaches. TTRS's multi-sensory typing is they only thing we've found that helps him. We started by using the provided modules. Just doing this improved his spelling. After he got comfortable typing, I started importing my own spelling lists for him. I highly recommend this program if your child is struggling with spelling.

Highly recommend TTRS to families

My 8 year old dyslexic son is doing a TTRS module a day and it’s just such a well organised/thought through programme. I’d highly recommend it to any parent who is struggling with curriculum spelling programmes.

Spell Check Now Knows What My Daughter is Spelling

Prior to TTRS my daughter could barely spell even the most basic words. Now that she has completed the program she can spell with much more confidence. While she still may not always spell things right, spell check now knows what she is typing which is a HUGE plus in my book. In addition she increased her typing speed and grew in self-confidence both academically and emotionally.

We are loving TTRS

We are loving TTRS! My son is a severe dyslexic and enjoys the program! I ask him how he spells the words in the dictation level, and he says he doesn’t know, but I know he can now do it!
Excellent value for money, so far we have only explored the touch typing, but we do plan to use as many other features as we can!! Well worth the money, we have tried other typing programs, but this one works for us!

TTRS is the program that works.

TTRS is a program that as a homeschool parent, I can add vocabulary to the spelling option. I can tailor the spelling to unit studies while at the same time the kids are practicing typing. We've tried 4 different typing programs and this one is the one that worked.

TTRS is a game changer for learning

I have used TTRS for the last four years and i have seen fantastic progress in my son's work. He used to have great difficulty in spelling and reading but with our constant use of the reading and spelling part, his confidence has risen tremendously. TTRS truly works!
