THRASS

THRASS is a program to help people spell words. There are also some cards that we use for a game. To play we pick a card and then we say the sound and name of that thing. For example if the card was ant we would say “a” is for ant. There are two charts that say the word and have a picture of that word. It also has the sound in bold. I have been doing THRASS for about 2 years now.

We have the THRASS boards up on the white board in our classroom and we play the game and chant the words some afternoons. Sometimes we play another game where we get one person to stand up and face away from the charts and they have to say all of the words on one chart without saying one wrong or missing one.

THRASS stands for Teaching Handwriting Reading And Spelling Skills.
