A fantastic two days! I just wish I’d done this
earlier in my career. Can’t wait to get back into school and do it. This will
bring together all that we have already started in school. Thankyou.
A really lively and interesting two days. I have learnt so much about the
English language. Why wasn’t I taught this twenty-five years ago in training?
Thankyou.
Wow! Really enjoyable two days! I have learnt so much and can’t wait to try this
out with staff and children. Thank you very much. I can really move learning and
teaching forwards.
I found the entire course very informative. Not only have I learnt how to
deliver THRASS in my classroom but I have expanded my knowledge of the English
language. The delivery was of a good pace, clear and entertaining. I would
strongly recommend the course. I hope there are not spelling mistakes in my
evaluation, they didn’t use THRASS when I was at school!
Really inspiring and informative. I really want to get back to school to try it
all with the children. The course also cleared up a three-year mystery for me
about phonemes and graphemes. Hilary is clearly a gifted teacher and her
delivery really helped with my understanding.
A great insight into the beginning of THRASS. A starting point to hopefully
encourage members of our teaching staff to begin using the fundamentals. Very
well presented with excellent resources.
Very interesting and informative. Presentation was in-depth but fun. Now for me
to sell to school.
A lot to take in! A lively presentation which was enthusiastic and clear.
Thankyou.
Very informative. Lots of good information. Would have been nice to have time
for more questions.
Really enjoyable, useful and interesting. I am enthused now to start teaching
the programme at school. Maybe too much time spent on THRASS–IT.
Well organised and informative. Lovely to be able to take back resources,
thankyou. Would have been nice to somehow been able to get up and try computer
resources, etc.
Second day – rather confusing when referring to the phonetic (international)
alphabet. Good content.
Two really enjoyable and absorbing days. A good pace and atmosphere. Hilary kept
everyone interested. We had already decided to try working with THRASS and now
feel keen to get started.
Very motivating and will be a great basis for our whole school literacy
approach. Thanks.
Very useful. Very clear links to graphemes, phonemes.
This has taught me many new things about the speaking, reading and writing of
English.
This has changed the way I look at teaching, reading and spelling. Thank you for
making the two days interesting and enjoyable. I can’t wait to get started!
Very lively presentation. Good variety of teaching styles and opportunities for
learning. The materials look great and will prove very useful. Look forward to
purchasing CDs. A very worthwhile course.
Good delivery – nice balance between content and questions –clear instruction
and repetition. Felt that we were building on own skills quite well. Resources –
good – looking forward to using the ‘phoneme machine’ and ’15 minute lessons’
when they come out.
Very useful. A bit of a crowded schedule – although it is important to address
issues that come up from participants. Might be better to include these at the
end if it otherwise compromises the content.
A lot to take in but useful. I’m sure I’ll be able to use information more when
I start to teach it.
Well-presented, very useful. Nice to be able to take some resources back to
school to explain THRASS.
Enjoyed the course, very informative and enabled me to use the THRASS chart and
have in my classroom! Although I felt the second day’s afternoon was slightly
too in-depth for me!
The course was very informative and put THRASS into perspective. Hilary
delivered the course with such passion you just had to get involved.
Very useful two days. Well delivered and broke down each section into
understandable parts. Feel able and comfortable in delivering THRASS to my
children and also giving feedback to staff. Very enjoyable.
A fantastic couple of days and feel ready to tackle this in the classroom. I got
a little lost when discussing the finer points of the International Phonetic
Alphabet, but am confident I can catch up.
I have increased my knowledge of the English language. Some useful ideas for
teaching the younger children in the Foundation stage.
Really useful day 1. Lots of practical ideas and gave me confidence to get
started with the children. Thought Day 2 was good although the afternoon session
was rushed too much for me to get the most from it – I thought this session
would have been really valuable to my assessment. Thanks.
Great. Informative. Fantastic. 10 out of 10. Thank you very much!
Very useful – we have most of the resources but didn’t know what to do. Now have
plenty of strategies, games, etc. and have much more of an idea about how to
progress through the stages.
A very useful course and enjoyed the visual support. It just needs to be
consistent taking it back to school and making sure that every year group use it
correctly. Thankyou.
I feel much more confident to now go back to school and teach THRASS to my
Reception class. We were given lots of ideas to use the THRASS resources.
Improvement – stick to agreed finish time! Can we have the THRASS picture cards!
I found THRASS very enjoyable, which helps children learn through fun. It also
allows their “thinking skills” to develop, leading to independency.
Informative, helpful, packed, great.
Our school has spent a lot of money on THRASS resources but we were guessing for
a while about how to share and let the children access it. Six members of our
staff came and now we all have ideas, games and resources to use. Would love to
have a full list of possible games but realise this is almost endless! Thanks
very much – I’ve got a much clearer baseline position now.
I already use THRASS in my school but got to a point where I didn’t know where
to take it. This course has given me a clear understanding and knowledge of
THRASS which I can now use in my teaching. The resources given were useful and
will certainly be used daily. | can see now how THRASS can develop children in
reading, writing, spelling. Overall the course was fantastic, useful and
interesting. A huge thankyou.
