TTRS course for Children with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and other learning diffculties
Searsol now offer the Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) course throughout Dublin in its various TTRS course centres for children with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and other learning difficulties
The TTRS (Touch-type, Read and Spell) is a multi-sensory (seeing, hearing, speaking, touching) computer-aided learning course for people with spelling, reading or writing difficulties. Students will also learn the skill of touch typing.
Based on extracts from the word list used in the text book Alpha to Omega*.
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

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.”
