When did you first start using TTRS?

I first started using TTRS in February 2014.

In what setting do you use TTRS?

I use TTRS for guided sessions at school, for use with my dyslexic students as a home course, and for long distant learners.

What is your favourite feature?

My favourite feature is that the programme seems to help children with their spelling and that it takes the sweat out of having to formulate a spelling programme, provided they use the course regularly and complete at least half the course.

Best success story?

Best success story was a twice exceptional learner who typed out his exam paper written recount faster than his writer could write it!! He didn't need one!

Top tip?

Top tip is to ensure children make use of the High Frequency and Dolch word lists in the subjects section.
