THRASS (Alan Davies & Denyse Ritchie,
2003) stands for Teaching Handwriting Reading And Spelling Skills.
It is new in South Africa but is used in many countries in literacy
programmes and in teacher training programmes. THRASS helps children
to understand the relationships between the forty-four phonemes
(speech sounds) of spoken English and the twenty-six letters of the
alphabet, which are the key to successful reading and writing. It
concentrates on the word level but recognises the importance of the
other two levels: sentence and text levels. It is part of a balanced
literacy programme. Educators, classroom assistants and parents can
teach THRASS.
