- COURSE EVALUATIONS
31 May 10: Gauteng, South
Africa
"Excellent
presenter – entertaining, inspiring and well-experienced. I like the different
techniques e.g. dancing and music, as it can only enhance learning. I think
THRASS can assist children with learning problems to perform well in school in a
fun way and make them feel that they can also be ‘somebody’."
21 May 10: Swaziland
"A very enlightening course, we thoroughly enjoyed all the teaching and
implementation tips for teachers. It was great to be refreshed in THRASS. We are
re-inspired and encouraged to teach."
17 May 10: KZN, South
Africa (NAPTOSA)
"An awesome exciting day. Felt good that we are on the right track but also feel
inspired by all the new ideas and resources. Thanks you so much for a wonderful
programme."
29 Jan 10: Gauteng, South
Africa
"Revelatory, revolutionary, liberating, healing, powerful, almost overwhelming,
exciting, beautifully and lovingly designed – and communicated – humbling and
totally, TOTALLY, motivational! These hardly begin to describe, in understated
terms, how I would describe the experience of this course. I’ve spent two days
making a list of all those friends who I will COMPEL to do this course, too!"
27 Jan 10: Western Cape, S Africa (MAL)
"This was so much fun and really worth it! It will also make
teaching a whole lot more fun."
"Fun! Fun! Fun! Learners learn best through play and
fun-filled environment. Sing-A-Long really allows optimal
opportunity for this. Also highly informative. This resource
is great as it has multiple purposes! It was a real
privilege for me to participate today!"
"Most enjoyable programme ever! This is a lot of fun and
educational for the learners. I would suggest it to any
teacher and any school."
"This Sing-A-Long is really fun and it’s an eye opener that
shows just how fun and exciting we can make learning the
English language. It is really good that teachers in
training are shown how to do this course because it can be
really beneficial to learners from an early age across the
world."
16 Sep 09: Western Cape, South Africa
"Hilary, your
input last night (at the Parents’ Meeting) and today was awe-inspiring. Lots of
new ideas to add to what I’ve been doing but also an encouragement that what I’m
doing is right!"
21 Jul 09: Harare, Zimbabwe
"Hilarious and
educational! A wonderful workshop."
"Very educative. Best phonics workshop that I have
attended!"
"Brilliant! This workshop will go down in history as one of
the major milestones in the reawakening of the education
system in Zimbabwe. I have learnt a lot! Well done Alan and
Hilary!"
15 May 09: Eastern Cape, S Africa (MAL)
"Wow! What a lovely, energetic and enjoyable
course! Never thought that I would be jumping and jiving
a-long to these songs in front of everyone. Janine was
spectacular so energetic and wonderful to listen to, making
it so easy to interact. Loved it!"

SOUND IT OUT!
Released on 26 May 2010
"If
in doubt, SOUND IT OUT!"
If a child is unable to read a word,
schools advise parents to help their child ‘sound it out’, by using letter
sounds and not the names of letters. In this way, children (from as young as the
age of five) are encouraged to sound out the words that they cannot read by
using simple phonics (by giving each letter one sound)...
