It is a hassle-free program that has given huge rewards for the children and adults
“At Waterford Libraries, we have been offering TTRS to teachers for use in the classroom (or home - schooling) and to individual users. TTRS has been hugely popular and beneficial to both schools and general library members, so popular in fact that we had to double the number of licences we offer within our first few months use. The feedback from teachers and parents has been extremely positive and encouraging and the uptake is growing all the time.”

Popular & hugely beneficial
At Waterford Libraries, we have been offering TTRS to teachers for use in the classroom (or home - schooling) and to individual users. TTRS has been hugely popular and beneficial to both schools and general library members, so popular in fact that we had to double the number of licences we offer within our first few months use. The feedback from teachers and parents has been extremely positive and encouraging and the uptake is growing all the time. It is a hassle free program that has given huge rewards for the children and adults that are currently utilising it here through Waterford Libraries. From an administrative point of view – it is very straightforward to manage, allocate logins etc. We would highly recommend it.
I got great help from the library...
I got great help from the library when I set up TTRS in our school. It is very easy to navigate around TTRS. My pupils also find it very easy to log on and work independently.
Adult students learning typing skills
Our students are adults and really like the program. It helps them to learn how to type properly and to increase their typing speed. It provides them a skill that may help them get a job.
