Lisa, Parent of a 7th grader with dyslexia, dysgraphia, and apraxia
A deciding factor for me was the multi-sensory teaching aspect of TTRS. These kinds of methods are exactly what students with dyslexia and dysgraphia need. TTRS checks so many boxes: word lists, academic vocabulary by subjects, sight words, word endings, homophones. We also love being able to customize the visual display of the program. My son does about three modules each day -- they are quick and painless. And the best part is he is learning!
We love that the word lists can include vocabulary from a variety of subjects and that it challenges our youngest phonetic reader on up to our high school senior. I highly recommend this program to any parent.
Ed, Computer Science Teacher at a small private school
I use Touch-type Read and Spell in kindergarten through eighth grade alongside two other programs that teach coding and computer aided design (CAD). I like to rotate through the different applications to keep things fresh and interesting for the students. The homeroom teachers have provided very positive feedback about having students use TTRS to practice their spelling words. We really like the ability to add our own lists to the program. The students then practice typing the words and take an assessment.
As a teacher, I love the combination of the main program and the challenging "Subjects" and "Free writing" - differentiation built-in.
My kids have really enjoyed it. I like the different subjects available. It has really helped my kids spelling, vocabulary and typing speed.
