TTRS Subjects are courses created by teachers who are experts in their field. They are designed to be used in different ways depending on their focus. They can support subject learning, provide additional practice or give students a fun typing option.

Ways Subjects can support learning

Subjects can be used in different ways to complement students' learning:

Support subject learning
As additional practice and review of previously learned material
As a "fun" typing option for students who are also working through the Main Course

How Subjects support students

Subject-specific learning modules can help students develop their typing and literacy skills while building knowledge in different areas.

Benefits include:

Enhanced familiarity with keywords and definitions
Greater sight-reading ability for high-frequency words
Support for spelling subject-specific vocabulary
Improved reading comprehension and factual knowledge in a subject area

What to expect from a Subject

Subjects are structured in a similar way to the Main Course:

There are a maximum of 31 modules in each level
Each module is designed to be short in length with regular, positive feedback
Every 5th module is a dictation module that relies on the auditory element to reinforce learning

We recommend students complete the first three levels of the Main Course before using TTRS Subjects. This ensures that they are familiar with the keys and the correct touch-typing technique is applied.

Earning badges

Badges are a gamification feature designed to reward students for their efforts and achievements while learning, helping keep them engaged and motivated to continue practicing.

Students earn a badge when they complete all of the levels of a Subject. This applies to both single-level and multi-level Subjects.

Students can earn badges in the following categories:

English
Science
Geography
Math
Learning strategies
Typing
GCSE
Just For fun
Custom
History
Languages (coming soon)
