Touch-type Read and Spell Hack 2.8.13 + Redeem Codes

The lessons themselves are fine. I just wish I could have profiles for different students instead of having to log out and log each child individually. It takes a long time to download the data each time my kids logs in for a lesson.

I signed up for TTRS and haven’t had a problem logging into the web based version. However, I decided to download the app as well, and that is where my problems began. Every time I try to log in, I am greeted with the error: “The data couldn’t be read because it is not in the correct format.” I use the same info from keychain for the web and app, and can log in on the former, but not the latter. Clicking on “trouble logging on,” only sends me an email with instructions on changing my password, which I’ve done several times, to no avail. I finally decided to contact the company for help, explaining my issue to them, and have only received more emails directing me to change my password 🤦🏽‍♀️ One even went ahead and changed my password for me, which, surprise surprise, worked on the web, but not in the app. So, at this point, the app is dead to me, and I’ll be uninstalling and will just have my kids use the web version. Just wanted anyone else who is having the same problem know that they are not alone and that no help will be forthcoming.

I knew that the typing program I used for my non-Dyslexic kiddo would not work for my son, who has moderate to severe, double-deficit Dyslexia. Most programs go too fast, too soon, for him, and the words used would make it inaccessible to him as well—never mind the anxiety that the timed test would give.

While I do not believe that TTRS lives up to its claim to “teach spelling,” it does reinforce what he is learning during our Orton-Gillingham lessons, aiding in the orthographic mapping process. (We use the Barton Reading & Spelling System, and I have listed the way its progression corresponds to TTRS on my public Facebook page: Light Bulb Moments Tutoring.)

I love the repetition, multi-sensory input (including visual and auditory cues), and ease of use. My son is able to do this independently and with great success.

The price was a bit off-putting, but we purchased it at a discounted price during a holiday sale. My 10-year-old son has been doing 4 lessons per day, 4 days per week, which should allow him to complete the program during our 1-year subscription. (He should be finishing Barton Level 5 by then, making most words in TTRS accessible to him as well.)

We did have some technical difficulties at first, but customer service was very thorough and helpful. (I had not realized that there was an iPad app, so we were using the online version in Safari, which was not the best option.)

This app is easy to use for my 9 year old, he has dyslexia and dysgraphia, this program is helping him with both he repeats words, so he memorize and he is learning where the letters of the keyboard are, for him is becoming easy the keyboard. Some times he practice for 5 minutes or he can practice for 15, that’s another reason he can do it without problems, he knows the modules are shorts, so far the app has been working and my kid is happy to practice.

I appreciate the short modules. We homeschool using the Charlotte Mason philosophy, which emphasizes complete attention, and short modules help develop this habit of attention. I am not yet seeing an improvement in spelling, but I didn’t really buy the app for that purpose. We use Barton and I wanted a typing program that would be complementary to our dyslexia remediation program. This fits that bill perfectly.

My 8 year old son has dysgraphia and adhd, so we wanted to work with typing for his 3rd grade school year. It takes about 5 minutes each module and he is usually scores high on each one. It’s very basic and not very distracting to use which is perfect. We are already noticing a difference!

We have trying hard to improve my daughter’s spelling. As an app, we haven’t used it as much as we should, but customer service has been amazing. The emailed tips have been super helpful.

We are still working with it, but I would urge anybody to try it!

My daughter has many learning difficulties. She has auditory processing disorder. This program is great for her. Listening,following directions, helping with paying attention. Yes it seems repetitive and challenging but that’s what she needs. I’m very happy with this program.

I really like this typing curriculum. This has been the only typing program that has helped her learn to type well. I have also seen some improvement with her spelling as well.

It started out fine, but now every time my kids try to log in it kicks them out. We’ve deleted and downloaded it again, made sure it’s up-to-date, and tried on multiple tablets but it won’t work. Then they try to log on the website and their progress hasn’t been saved and it makes them start over each time. It has the potential to be good, but at this point I can’t in good conscience give this a good review.
