Touch Type Read and Spell

The Dyslexia Association

Touch Type Read and Spell (TTRS) is a multi-sensory computer aided learning programme for people with reading, spelling or writing difficulties. It is suitable for adults and for children aged from 7. Children at the younger end of the age range should be accompanied by an adult.

• Develop literacy skills whilst learning to touch type
• Increase confidence, self-esteem and motivation
• Work at individual level and speed
• Work independently with the support of a TTRS trained tutor
You can start a course at any time, as courses run on a rolling program, and everyone works at their own pace.
