My children's confidence is soaring!
My children, ages 9 and 10, have been using TTRS for about 3 months. They both struggle with reading and one with handwriting. I discovered TTRS and felt it would be a supplement to our home education endeavors. I was right! Both boys really enjoy the lessons and score above 90% each time. It has improved their typing skills, reinforced their reading and spelling skills, and even reinforced maintaining good spacing in their handwriting. They now say "Space" after writing a word just as the typing program prompts which has greatly improved the legibility of their writing.

Reading has been such a battle for my son. After starting TTRS, his reading/spelling began to improve. His confidence grew as well. I only regret not starting TTRS sooner. I'm so grateful.
