It’s helping me every day work faster and more efficiently at the computer.
I have mild dyslexia. Unfortunately, there was no help for me when I was younger, so I’ve always just struggled along. I run a guest house and when I write on the computer, it’s easier to cover up errors. In the first few weeks of Touch-type Read and Spell, I didn’t think I was getting much better. Then, when I was typing a letter out, I felt wow, I seem to be typing differently. Typing felt more automatic and I wasn’t overthinking the words and how to spell them, I was just doing it. I was typing faster and my fingers knew where they were going.

TTRS is one part of my dyslexia toolkit
I do my typing for a half hour every night. I put that in my schedule and make it a priority.
Touch-type Read and Spell provides a rewarding and positive experience
At Bolton College we offer the TTRS course to self-study adult learners who have returned to education to improve their spelling, increase their familiarity with technology, and use word processors. We find that for many adult learners in our program, the conventional look-cover-spell-check approach they were taught at school had a detrimental effect on their learning. In contrast, Touch-type Read and Spell provides a rewarding and positive experience for them when it comes to spelling.
Listening to the words in TTRS really helps me
I can hear and see the word, so it’s easier for me to pinpoint whatever little thing I’m doing in my mind that’s not working. I’ve also found it’s easy and convenient to work on the modules - I can do them at home and in the office and it doesn’t take up too much time.
