Top Tip: Discover more spelling strategies for learners with dyslexia. One of the best things a dyslexic individual can do is learn how to touch-type. This is because it will not only make them more efficient on the computer but harness muscle memory in the fingers to assist with spelling. With keyboarding words are translated into a series of movements and ideas and language flow through the fingertips and onto the screen without the disruption of hunting for letters and arranging them in the right order.
Top Tip: TTRS is recommended by the British Dyslexia Association and used by dyslexic learners worldwide to master touch-typing and improve reading and spelling skills at the same time!

Her vocabulary has noticeably improved and she has found she can explain things and express herself more clearly in English after completing the course. At Bolton College we offer the TTRS course to self-study adult learners who have returned to education to improve their spelling, increase their familiarity with technology, and use word processors.
