For over 25 years, TTRS has offered a comprehensive touch-typing course based on a structured program of phonics. The program aims to build literacy skills and increase confidence and self-esteem in users as they master the art of keyboarding. Because it takes a multi-sensory approach to tuition, TTRS is also suitable for users who struggle with physical impairments and specific learning difficulties, like dyslexia. |
My son has slow writing, is dyslexic, dysgraphic and a visual learner. TTRS has allowed him to at last realise his potential and show how intelligent he is- Louise Venning Parent
Children like TTRS. It gives them the instant reward of seeing their scores improve and the progress they’ve made. At our school we mainly use it with dyslexic children and struggling writers. Helen Holmes teacher
For the past 25 years, TTRS has been helping learners with dyslexia feel and be more successful at the keyboard. The course takes an Orton-Gillingham-based approach to typing, featuring a multi-sensory program of phonics that builds reading and spelling ability, along with computer skills. TTRS is appropriate for learners aged 8+ to adult. British Dyslexia Association

WHY SCHOOLS LOVE TTRS
Students learn to type and benefit from improved spelling ability and a boost in reading fluency due to an underlying phonics program that informs core content

TTRS offers a flexible solution that can be used for classroom-based learning & homework assignments. It also offers parents the chance to reinforce literacy skills at home and take a more active role in their child's learning
Dashboards and reporting apps allow teachers to monitor student progress and see which words and spelling patterns they are struggling with
It encourages self-directed learning as students require less guidance
It caters to different ability levels. TTRS is self-paced and can be customised to meet the needs of every learner, from those on the autistic spectrum to learners with visual or hearing impairments and students who struggle with dyslexia, dyspraxia or attention-based difficulties
