Touch-type, Read and Spell

Seeing
A series of twenty four courses, each of thirty modules based on Alpha to Omega; they are clearly presented and build up from single words to punctuated sentences.

Hearing
Each course has at least six dictation modules based on preceding exercises to practise and reinforce learned skills. These are typed by the student with feedback from the computer reinforcing learning.

Touching
A kinaesthetic approach (a sensation of movement) is perceived by the student: “When I want to spell a word I just think where my fingers would go - it’s like talking with my fingers.”

Learning is promoted by a multi-sensory approach:

A systematic programme of seeing, listening, speaking and typing
Seeing the words written on the screen as they are typed out
Hearing the words pronounced as they are typed
Student and computer are interactive allowing for immediate self correction of errors and feedback of results
The structured TTRS course is finely graded in modules and levels building from words to sentences
With each successful module completed the student is encouraged to progress further
Students develop their own learning speed, therefore there are no peer group pressures
TTRS gives focus and support for a positive learning experience
