A most
informative training session presented in a dynamic way. I have learnt a great
deal and have been given much to think about. The children will benefit greatly
from what has been shown to me!
Laola was
very passionate and enthusiastic. She is also well spoken and presented the
course very well. I really enjoyed the two day course and found it to be
comprehensive and I now have a good understanding of THRASS. Thank you, what a
fantastic phonics programme!
Very
informative, exciting program for kids to learn! The training was exciting and
very knowledgeable. Learnt a lot, can’t wait to use these new methods of
teaching with our kids. I hope and wish all teachers could get the opportunity
to learn THRASS.
Fantastic.
There is so much to take in and so much to take away with us and pass on to our
learners. Laola is a fantastic speaker and her enthusiasm and confidence in this
THRASS programme is evident in her presentation.
Wow! Will
need to get the entire school on board! This will mean workshops with our entire
staff. It just makes so much sense!
Excellent.
It was stimulating and motivating. It provided much insight into the development
of language in children. I really am excited to see it growing within our
school. There was much practical advice given.
Excellent,
absolutely brilliant! I am a bit overwhelmed but looking forward to implementing
in my class. I just wish my colleagues were all here, so we can all be on
board!
Very well
presented; Great use of aids and material; Comprehensive coverage of subject
material; Trainer very approachable and has excellent knowledge of subject and
product; Inspiring and exciting concepts and method of teaching!
Very
interesting, but challenging as this was my first encounter with the programme.
Laola is a lovely and knowledgeable facilitator who made everything interesting.
We were taken through the programme step by step and were encouraged to
participate. I thoroughly enjoyed learning about THRASS and will pass the
information on to my principal!
Laola is
brilliant! She knows THRASS to the bone and has lots of experience in teaching.
She is able to motivate and encourage us. She explained everything very well and
I am eager to start using THRASS. She was very well organised, good examples and
humour. The course was very pleasant and interesting. Enough room for
questions!
Very
interesting and clear programme. We will implement THRASS in our after-school
educational program. I love the easy to use teaching materials and believe our
kids see they all have a different background! They will definitely benefit from
this method!
An
enlightening experience with a very vibrant instructor. I will be taking back a
lot of information and will most definitely be implementing these ideas in my
lessons. I would definitely recommend that the other teachers in my school
attend a course such as this.
Very
interesting and informative. The information was made clear and there was good
interactive involvement. It clearly showed that teachers would have to change
their mind set and ways of teaching spelling and methods. There was lots of
information given and aspects covered during the course. Very intriguing ideas!
Excellent,
informative, relevant, insightful and exciting! Excellent, definitely logical
and easy to understand! Assimilate and see ways of implementation. This could be
the answer to so many language and spelling problems for first and second
language learners. Has any research been done on pre and post THRASS learners? I
would be interested in possibly doing so!
A very
interesting two days, the time flew by! I am keen to try THRASS but at this
moment in time am a little unsure about where and how to start but I am prepared
to give it ago should our school decide to use it! It was well presented and
most worthwhile.
Very
interesting, well presented and an extremely knowledgeable speaker! Looking
forward to doing THRASS in my class and using this lovely, bright equipment!
Many thanks for two days well spent!
Very
interesting! Good to see and learn a new approach which gets the children to
explore and use thinking skills which involve divergent thinking skills. Lovely
and interactive! Colourful and very stimulating! (Good for the modern day child)
Like learning to drive again for me!
Presenter:
well organised, knows her topics, lively understanding and patient! Course: Very
informative with sufficient teaching material. Enjoyed myself!
I enjoyed
it! Laola was great and accommodating, looking forward to implementing whatever
I can!
Very
interesting and enlightening. I found THRASS to be a very interesting way to
look at teaching English as well as understanding how English is spoken. It has
also been helpful with instructing how phonemes are to be pronounced!
Very
informative and I have learnt a lot more. The things I experienced difficulty
with I now have greater understanding. The facilitator was excellent! She
explained things well and answered all question with confidence!
A very
informative course! Laola was very pleasant and easy to listen to. She made sure
that we completely understood at every stage. All the course material is of a
very high standard, easy to work with and appealing to the children. This course
inspired me to try lots of new things when teaching THRASS and I am looking
forward to using what I have learnt to enrich my teaching of THRASS in the
classroom. Thanks for a very worthwhile two days!
I found the
course most fascinating and fruitful. I cannot wait to implement THRASS to our
current grade 4’s. Thank you for your wonderful input.
I thoroughly
enjoyed the course and learnt a great deal. Laola was most informative and made
the course very interesting and interactive. I am looking forward to carrying
THRASS through grade 4 and seeing the learning continuation from grade 3. Thank
you very much for the opportunity to teach an old dog new tricks!
Very
informative information, given clearly! Friendly facilitator. I feel like a
light has switched on, Useful system to use with the children!
Fantastic
and I have learnt a lot! Laola was very good with the presenting! I will go back
to my class with more insight and feel confident with THRASS. It was my first
course.
I have been
using some of the THRASS methods for the past few months with a certain amount
of success. I now feel more competent in my approach. I am so excited to see
that so many of my previous approaches are used in THRASS. I am keen to get this
going in my department and guide my colleagues. I found the course informative,
interactive and enriching. The presenter is so energetic and full of good ideas.
I appreciate her wisdom and enjoyed her sharing of her experiences. Thank you
for this exciting course on the THRASS method of teaching literacy skills.
Very
informative and comprehensive. The contents were covered at a decent speed and
were explained thoroughly. It has taken the written word in the manuals and the
reality, and combined the two! Mrs Altschul was patient, knowledgeable and
enthusiastic. I thoroughly enjoyed the contents and the presenter.
Very
interesting and informative time. It has stretched the brain and given food for
thought. It would be nice if the font was interchangeable as it also has to
match in with the schools handwriting policy. I would like to spend the money on
getting programmes the one can print of for a class instead of each child having
to buy their own material (or school) I would like to have more direction on how
to implement it in the phase beginning with grade 1.
I really
enjoyed the two day course. I wish I was exposed to a program like this when I
was in school! I am very excited to get into my class with all the new exciting
and teachable info I got. I love the extra material my children will love too!
Thank you Laola you were fantastic, God Bless!
Very
informative, Laola was very dynamic and keen about THRASS. She was very excited
about the program and has made me very enthusiastic. It was a practical and
hands on course. It taught me a lot and gave me good insight into the program.
A lot to
think about in a short space of time! I am most excited and would be nervous but
quite willing to try. It is a huge mind set change, but a good one. Thanks for
the chance to change. A very well presented and informative course!
Really
enjoyed the course! Made me look at the way I hear sounds and speak. Laola
worked through the program in a systematically way and felt much better equipped
by the end of the second day.
Very
interesting and enriching! Enjoyable. Perhaps more clarification on where to
begin in each grade - a guideline. We could be given a copy or e-mail of an
example of how another school implemented it according to grade or phase.
Very
interesting! At first very overwhelming but eye opening!
Quite
interesting and offered several new approaches to teaching literacy.
Very
informative. Cleared up many misconceptions, material was all relevant and user
friendly, Laola knew her subject matter exceptionally well.
Very well
presented but too much content was covered in such a short time, some people
can’t concentrate! I can see the value of the programme. Laola was well versed
on the subject matter and could answer all the questions.
Most
entertaining and informative. It was able to integrate a total spectrum of the
knowledge required by the pupil in terms of spelling, writing and reading. The
combination was of particular interest. Placing these in appropriate areas gave
meaning to the programme.
Very
enlightening! Well worth attending. I feel very excited about getting started.
Laola was delightful! She is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
A very
informative course, which will allow me to have a good starting point in the
implementation and teaching of THRASS! Laola was very helpful in answering
multiple questions, which helped cleared unanswered questions and confusions. A
worth while course!
