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. A few other people also felt that navigating the dashboard to access different courses was not as straightforward as the main course, making it less accessible for younger children. Additionally, some found the initial setup confusing, especially for Android tablets.

My 10 year old is enjoying the program

My 10 year old is enjoying the program. She likes that there are not pictures making it feel "babyish" to her. She feels like she is doing "older" kids work.

Awesome Program!

My 8 year old dyslexic son loves this app. He is progressing well and enjoys the program. I think he can type better than his teenaged brother now!

This program has worked really well for my daughters to learn to type. An added bonus is that they're also learning spelling amd reading at the same time and in a way that their brains can learn.

TTRS is great!

I have been loving TTRS. Both my 8 and 10 year olds are going through the program. It starts with a gentle and thorough introduction to all the keys. The spelling is incorporated into the typing practice. We have really enjoyed using it.

TTRS is a breath of fresh air!

TTRS has helped both of my kids tremendously! One child was a struggling speller, and is now able to spell without much thought. This program gives children an opportunity to hear the word, see the word, and also spell it while typing. There is so much processing going on simultaneously without them even knowing!
I also LOVE that TTRS sends a weekly report with stats, and areas that need improvement. I'm counting this as a keyboarding class with one of my children and the weekly report makes documentation a breeze!

Great at helping boys "catch up" to grade level

I have 2 boys that because of family circumstances were very behind in spelling/reading. We've used TTRS for one school year (along with a tutor) and both boys have almost jumped 2 grades in their spelling/reading. I love the ease of the program and that they can do it themselves each day. They have come so far that I am so glad we started TTRS this school year. We are planning to use it next year also!

Both my son (10) and myself (41) use TTRS lessons. So great for all ages. The extra lessons are great for KS2/3 and GCSE.

TTRS is the best application for dyslexics

I'm an English as foreign language teacher. I've been using Touch-type Read and Spell for about 4 years to teach my dyslexic students to read in English. And I can say - it is the best app I've ever seen. The results are amazing - people who hardly could read in their mother tongue, after several sessions of TTRS started to read in English. Thank you!!!

This program has gotten my daughter to apply herself and she is thriving. She needed spelling help and this is fixing the problem without us having to work harder. She loves the program and asks to do it daily. She is learning to type while boosting her spelling and reading skills all in one. Very happy here. I highly reccommend this program. Your child will thank you!

Solid OG program

This is not a flashy, game-based program. It is, however, a wonderful method for those easily-distractible kids. I have several combinations of dyslexic and ADHD kids, all of whom greatly benefit from the OG methods for typing (obviously) as well as reading & spelling! Worth it. 5/5

Opening doors for my son

My 13 yr-old son has dysgraphia. For many years now, he has dictated his homeschool homework answers to me. We also work with dictation software for him to be able speak and create a document. We have always hoped he would be able to type, but after trying for many years, he still struggled with learning to type. After 6 months of using TTRS (about 3-4 days a week), he is now able to type! This will open so many doors for him. Thank you to TTRS!
