THRASS

Teaching Handwriting, Reading And Spelling Skills is a system for teaching learners of any age about the building blocks of reading and spelling – the 44 phonemes (speech sounds) of spoken English and the graphemes (spelling choices) of written English.

THRASS focuses on the skills of handwriting, reading and spelling and uses the physical act of handwriting to reinforce the Alphabetic Principle. As learners develop an understanding and awareness of phonemes and graphemes, they are motivated to detect the phonemes in words they speak and hear and to detect the graphemes in words they write and read.

Learners who have difficulties with handwriting will focus unnecessary attention on letter formation. When copying from the board, a work sheet or a book they are unable to concentrate on the words and/or the spelling choices.

Learners who have difficulties with reading will be unable to accurately follow written instructions, or gain what they should in terms of pleasure and knowledge from reading books.

Learners who have difficulties with spelling will have problems with dictation activities and in expressing themselves creatively with free-writin
