How To Play:

There are five different difficulty levels in TTR: Training and each difficulty level has seven lessons.  Students must pick a lesson and then a type of training to begin.  Before each level the requirements to pass the level are displayed.  In some lessons the student’s accuracy is assessed, in other levels their accuracy and speed are assessed to determine if they are ready to progress to the next level.  At the end of each level, a summary screen is displayed to inform the student if they still need to practice that level or if a new level has been unlocked.  While students are typing, their character will be performing various exercises.  After enough training, the character will be allowed to perform various stunts.  When performing a stunt the student must type a certain number of letters correctly in order to build the character’s courage.  When the courage meter is full, the character will perform the stunt.  New stunts are unlocked through continued training.  There are six different training exercises and four different stunts to unlock.  These difficulty levels are designed to challenge students from grades 1 – 6 and beyond.  After completing a difficulty level, the student has the option to print a certificate to display their mastery of that level.  See the chart below for lesson charts.
