Lisa, Teacher in a small rural school

I was excited when we discovered Touch-type Read and Spell.

We are a small, rural pre-K through 12th grade school located on an island in Alaska. Many of our lessons have to be flexible for multi-age classes that can include first through high school age students.  

We do not have a tech lab specialist so it's great that TTRS is easy to deliver. I've tried the program myself, as I have never had any typing instruction, and found I even benefitted from the technique! 

The program is easy to use with clear instructions and performance feedback. It sets a tone for all of our students. More importantly, students enjoy using it.

TTRS reinforces letter sounds for those who need literacy help and provides visual and auditory input so even students with severe attention challenges are motivated and self-directed.

I like that students can work independently, which allows me to monitor their progress so I can provide individualized instruction to those who need it. TTRS is a great tool to incorporate with other researched based literacy instruction to support continued student growth.

I have recommended this program to others in our district and will continue to do so without hesitation.
