THRASS ONE-DAY FOUNDATION,
NEWCASTLE, MAY 26, 2006

Very interesting and well presented. I’ve been waiting for a comprehensive reading and spelling approach and this seems to fit the bill! I’m looking forward to using it.

I found the course very interesting. The presentation was excellent – very smooth and motivating. I am keen to try this in school and work through the stages – it will need adaptation for our students who have C.P. re. Access – physical/visual. The website sounds great!

Wonderful – one of the best training days ever! Love the logic – feels right – should have always been like this in schools. Will be limited in what can be used with my special needs group but plenty that can be done. Thankyou.

Excellent presenting. Very interesting topic. Phoneme Machine sounds fantastic, can’t wait to start using it. All the resources seem easy to use and I like the idea that there are lots of different ways of using them. Excellent overall.

Thought provoking information. Appreciated examples of practical activities. Phoneme Machine looks fantastic!

An exciting way to teach. Fantastic resources – adaptable. Brilliant training – thankyou Hilary.

I enjoyed the course and I am very interested in this approach and how I can adapt it for my class of KS1 children. I would like to know more about using it with children with a visual impairment who would find it difficult to see the picture charts and who have huge problems with spacial awareness. I would like to see the demonstrations and learn more how to use it with children with no or limited speech and AAC users. Thanks.

Excellent course, very informative. Looking forward to getting started.

Very informative and interesting. Resources are varied and look fun to use. I enjoyed the training very much. Thankyou.

Extremely interesting – our challenge is to how to make it appropriate and accessible to our school.

A very thorough and well thought out course – many thanks! I would like to find out how successfully it has been introduced with deaf children especially children with additional disabilities and what strategies have been used to compensate for perhaps a very profound learning loss.

Plenty of food for thought. Well presented with lots of examples of related work and progress. I work with children who are hearing impaired and who also have additional needs so need to do more research on how best to introduce this system and how useful it will be.

A very informative, fun day. Very thought provoking content. Great presentation, fantastic resources. The day went very quickly. Thankyou.

Resources provided were very helpful – will be good to refer to. Lots of information provided, including revision for phonic knowledge.

An excellent day. Very informative and well presented. Very visual and easy to follow which will obviously be very beneficial for children.

Very interesting but think for the kids I work with, I would adapt it very much. Great presentation and use of resources.

Colourful presentation, well presented with useful information.

Very interesting day and useful information. Clear presentation and use of equipment.
Practical activities were good. Liked the songs. Presented in an interesting way.

Found it very interesting but not sure how I would use it without strong lead from class teacher and SALT.

Very interesting course. Particularly like a phonetic based Phoneme Machine. Also, with approach that is focussing learning on phoneme and graphemes. I work with non-speaking students who communicate with voice output communication aids. Listening is still difficult for them to acquire – they cannot sound out, speak, write for synthesise sounds and words! Could your Phoneme Machine be adapted for switch access? (single switch).

Training material very good. Excellent Hilary/clear. Resources very good. Very good presentation. Liked rap, music learning by rote. Adapting to children in our school need to discuss.

Very interesting and well presented. Lots and lots to take in – need time to work out how to use with the children.

Loved the resources. Friendly/lively and informative. A lot to take in in one day.

A very informative day. Lots of relevant detail/information for children in speech and language classes. Presented in an interesting and enjoyable way. Thankyou.
