Since 2019, LOCKE ACADEMY has been joining with these kids through learning using TTRS (Touch-type Read & Spell) that teaches keyboarding, develops reading and spelling skills through a structured program of phonics. The program aims to build literacy skills and increase confidence and self-esteem in users. Because it takes a multi-sensory approach to tuition, TTRS is also suitable for users who struggle with physical impairments and specific learning difficulties, like dyslexia. 

As volunteers, we enjoy being part of their lives by participating and seeing them progress in curriculum and social development as well. The Outreach Program also gives us a wonderful opportunity to share the gift of God's love altogether as we try to influence values that are impactful into today's society.
