Thank
you so much for a wonderful enriching course! I enjoyed every minute of it! I
found it most helpful to see the THRASS programme laid out so clearly and
carefully. I feel so encouraged and excited to begin teaching with this
wonderful and truthful programme.
A
stimulating course, which has challenged the way we teach phonics and reading.
I’ve enjoyed it and look forward to implementing THRASS. Thank you for your
time, enthusiasm and expertise.
It
was the most challenging and wonderful course I have ever attended. I am looking
forward to using the THRASS skills add method I learnt during the two days. As a
second language speaker, I am keen and enthusiastic to start teaching THRASS. It
was fantastic and I can’t wait to make a change to all the South African
children I teach. Thank you Hilary and Viva THRASS!
Presentation: Outstanding, sensitive, lively and highly informative. The course
is a breakthrough in the teaching of reading and spelling skills which is
greatly needed in SA schools!
An
inspiration and has really inspired me to continue implementing the programme in
my teaching. Thank you Hilary for presenting the course so enthusiastically and
with a great sense of humour.
An
incredibly interesting and enjoyable course. Hilary is a super speaker and gave
great ideas and tips. THRASS is an exciting tool to use in the classroom.
Very
interesting and exciting to see something “true”. Where were you when I trained
to teach 30 years ago? It makes such sense and we can’t wait to implement the
programme at our school.
Very
vibrant! Enjoyed every moment of it! Had a wonderful two days. Hilary was
passionate about the course. I can definitely use all of the resources in my
classroom. Glad I attended!
Wonderful!! Thank you so much – I can’t wait to get started! Awesome
presentation.
Fantastic – I’ve learnt a lot! I think though, that if a school wants to teach
effectively, all teachers at a particular school need to do the course,
especially Grades 1, 2 and 3 teachers to start with.
What
a wonderful host Hilary was! Full of fun! A ray of sunshine. I’ve had a cracking
good time!
Wonderful. I have appreciated it very much and Hil was a wonderful presenter.
A
very informative two days. Have learnt some very useful tools to use in class.
A
tremendously inspiring course. It put the teaching of THRASS nicely into
perspective and “Made a lot of sense!”
Very
well presented – wonderful.
Fantastic. Thanks Hilary! I feel confident now and have a really good
understanding of this great truthful programme.
What
a privilege to hear more about THRASS “straight from the horse’s mouth.” Such a
professional, informative, helpful, practical, insightful presentation!
Great
course. It was a very structured, interesting two days.
A
wonderful and inspiring two days. I am excited to start implementing THRASS.
Very
good. Thank you for your time. I found it informative.
A
very enriching course – leaving me very enthusiastic to get started. It is
evident that passion, knowledge and research has produced a wonderful programme.
It really makes so much sense.
Very
interesting for me as a Key Stage 2 (Intersen) teacher. I have never received
any training in teaching basic literacy skills. However, because the THRASS
scheme makes comparisons to the previous phonics approach, I can see how it is
superior. I think that the presenter’s knowledge, experience and enthusiasm has
definitely encouraged me to use this for children who struggle with reading and
spelling skills and if I ever work with Foundation phase. I would recommend the
course as eye-opening, fun and interesting.
Thank
you for two fun filled, informative days. I am easily bored, but you held my
attention. I can’t wait to start THRASS. After some courses I am left thinking
“Oh no, too much work”, but wonderful work – what an inspiration compared to the
rather aged Letterland.
Thank
you for a very informative, comprehensive course. Your enthusiasm is
inspirational and I can really see the value of teaching reading and spelling
skills this way. It makes more sense and I can see that learners will experience
success quicker. Thanks for answering all the queries Hilary.
Most
enjoyable and inspiring. Looking forward to implementing it. Thanks to Alan and
Hilary for a wonderful phonics programme, well presented.
Thank
you for an amazing two days! The visual presentation, order and predictability
of THRASS is going to have a huge impact on our children who have special needs.
I am really excited to use this with our autistic learners and will share our
journey with you as we go!
The
course was really, really great. I did learn so much in two days and will tell
everybody about THRASS. The THRASS team is doing a really good job. God bless
you.
Excellent – thoroughly enjoyed it! The practical tips were very helpful. Day 2
was quite challenging in terms of applying our own knowledge of analysing the
words correctly, and there were one or two discrepancies in terms of how we
pronounce words (perhaps challenge us to analyse a few on our own). Thank you so
much – I’m challenged!
Very
helpful in that I now have a better understanding of how to put together a
program for the children we are working with, who have not had the benefit of
play school, pre-school and in some cases formal schooling. With these tools I
am sure that they can be helped tremendously.
Absolutely brilliant course and lovely programme. Thank you Hilary for an
excellent presentation. Look forward to putting this into practice.
Fantastic course! Absolutely enlightening and brilliant. Totally converted and
excited to start using these techniques! It made so much sense and I thoroughly
enjoyed it. It was so superbly presented that I could quite happily do it again.
Very informative as well as practical and enjoayble.
