I have been working with a child in my grade who has dyslexia who is 3 years behind in reading, writing and spelling. I have found that teaching him to use THRASS as a tool to help him with Enlish has helped him to significantly improve.

Teaching students that y makes the "y" sound as in yellow etc is extremely flawed because there are many exceptions to this rule. For example in the word 'many' in this case "y" is making the e sound. THRASS teaches the students that there are 44 speech sounds in the English language, not just the ones in the alphabet.
