Why teachers love TTRS
Three skills, one routine
Typing practice is paired with phonics-based reading and spelling so learners overlearn patterns, build automaticity and see progress quickly.
In school and at home
Use TTRS in class, for intervention groups or homework. Parents can reinforce the same routines at home for consistent support.
Independent, confidence-building practice
Short, repeatable modules with clear audio and immediate feedback reduce working-memory load and encourage self-directed learning—freeing teachers to target 1:1 support.
Transferable student places
Archive and reassign places as needed—perfect for mid-term changes or short-term interventions. Reactivate at any time or transfer to a home account.
Free teacher accounts
Unlimited teacher logins so staff can model touch-typing and monitor progress without using student places.
Easy to get started
No complicated training. A simple, distraction-free interface helps learners focus on sound-letter patterns, not navigation.
Actionable insights
Dashboards highlight error trends and tricky spelling patterns so SENCOs and teachers can plan targeted follow-up.
Inclusive by design
Self-paced and customisable for diverse needs—including dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention-based difficulties—so mixed-ability classes can progress together.
Subjects, the TTRS way
Reinforce key vocabulary from English, Maths and Science. Typing modules review hard-to-spell words and boost reading fluency using the same multi-sensory approach.

Testimonials and reviews
TTRS is a flexible program that meets a variety of learning needs.
With TTRS the children enjoy it, it's quick to set up and it's easy to run. The literacy focus is also great and overall it is the best touch typing program I've used.
TTRS was recommended to me by a colleague, and I'd also used it at a previous school. My experience with the program has always been very positive. For the students who have used it consistently, it has had a huge impact on their success.
TTRS is easy to use, I like the short modules, and it seems to be working. The online access is great so pupils can work on it at home and in their own time if they are disciplined.
