Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) helps develop
typing and literacy skills of children (age 8+), young people and
adults who have additional educational needs with reading, writing
and spelling for a broad range of reasons. At the same time it
increases their level of confidence, self-esteem and motivation
as learners.
It is organised into 24 levels each comprising of 31 modules and
takes a multi-sensory approach to repetition learning. Through
the multi-sensory approach, a user hears the words spoken through
headphones or speakers, sees the words printed on the screen and
is prompted as to which fingers to press via the on-screen keyboard.
Finally, through the sense of touch, they type out the words, harnessing
muscle memory in the hands and fingers to learn spelling.
