The THRASS phonics programme
is enjoying considerable success in Africa where it has been welcomed as
heralding the start of a new era in the teaching of English in Africa.
THRASS is being used with
children of all abilities from all types of backgrounds and in all types of
schools: government schools such as Farm Schools in the Kwena Basin in the
province of Mpumalanga, township schools in Orange Farm, Johannesburg and
prestigious independent schools in several provinces.
