TTRS is a strength, the work is integrated, it has an assessment structure, and informs diagnosis of learning.

TTRS provides a range of support for children on a wide spectrum of SEN … the animations are consistent and simple … modules are engaging and activities are easy to understand.

The children achieved average improvements for reading age and spelling age, above what would have been expected due to maturation during the 4 month experimental period.

Access to the Touch-type Read and Spell course has enabled this small group of visually impaired children to improve their literacy skills.

Raw scores show improvements in most areas tested, the most noticeable being in spelling.

The TTRS group surpassed that of the control group [in their WRAT (Writing Reading Attainment Test scores] …pupils are able to transfer skills learnt in TTRS to many other curriculum areas when they are word-processing their work.

The results support the efficacy of integrating visual, auditory and kinaesthetic inputs in a computer‐based spelling program, and the importance of continual positive reinforcement for previously unsuccessful students.
