Touch Type Read Spell – A program to consider for people with learning difficulties/disabilities – UK

If you live overseas in the UK you may already know about a program called Touch Type Read Spell (TTRS). I purchased a home licence for my children for TTRS here in Australia and we used it nearly every day for months at a time as they worked their way through the levels. (About 15 mins per day). I am most impressed with the results my children are having and importantly their teachers have started to comment on learning improvements at school. Things like; better spelling, faster reading, better comprehension and excellent computer keyboard skills.

The beauty of TTRS is the fact that it uses auditory, visual and kinaesthetic cues to teach typing, spelling and reading skills all at the same time. It also seems to increase processing speeds. The program is based on the content of the UK literacy program, Alpha to Omega. TTRS is a great tool for people of all ages, as long as their fingers are capable of using a Qwerty keyboard and you have access to a PC and the internet. You can also access a free trial for homes or school. You will find a link to Touch Type Read Spell on the Dyslexia Daily homepage.

This program comes highly recommended.
