THRASS Teaching, Handwriting,
THRASS is a way to teach handwriting, reading and spelling skills using all the child’s senses. Teachers and Learning Support Assistants use CDs with raps, visual material (called picturecharts and wordcharts) and games on the interactive whiteboard.
Is your child ‘doing THRASS?’
THRASS is being used in year 3 and with groups of children in the other Key Stage 2 classes.
