Why teachers love the award winning TTRS course
Three skills in one solution
Students learn to type but they also benefit from improved spelling ability and a boost in reading fluency thanks to an underlying phonics program that informs core content.
It can be used in class or at home
TTRS offers a flexible solution that can be used for classroom-based learning, homework assignments or even extra credit. It also offers parents the chance to reinforce literacy skills at home and take a more active role in their child's learning.
It encourages self-directed learning
This means students require less guidance and teachers can take a step back to observe more children and help individuals who require extra attention.
Transferable student accounts
TTRS allows admins to easily archive student accounts and reassign them to new users. This ensures flexibility for mid-year changes and gives more students the opportunity to practice typing. Archived accounts can also be reinstated at anytime, or even transferred to a home account.
Free teacher accounts
Some teachers can't touch-type. That's why we offer FREE unlimited teacher accounts. Teachers have full access to their own course and can be assigned to monitor classes.
It's easy to get started
There's no complicated training required and it is quick and easy for teachers to get set up on the platform. The intuitive and simple interface also means students find it easy to set up their profile and start typing right away!
It offers insights that can be used to inform teaching
Dashboards and reporting apps not only allow teachers to monitor user progress, but also to see which words and spelling patterns they are struggling with and then focus lessons on these areas.
It caters to different ability levels
Teachers with inclusive classrooms know the struggle of creating different lesson plans and resources so every learner can benefit. TTRS is self-paced and can be customized to meet the needs of every learner from those on the autistic spectrum to learners with visual or hearing impairment and students who struggle with dyslexia, dyspraxia or attention based difficulties.

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.
