THRASS TWO-DAY CERTIFICATE,
HAMPSHIRE, SEPT 3-4, 2007

Very interesting and excellently presented in a very user-friendly way. Look forward to applying the new techniques learnt.

An excellent introduction and zoom through all that THRASS has to offer. Your presentation was ‘just right’. There is plenty of information to take on so that the children get the maximum benefit.

Well paced and clearly presented. Very positive and enthusiastically delivered by Hilary. Feel that THRASS will benefit the spelling in the school, as this is a problem area for us. It will be useful across all year groups not just Y3.

A very helpful course with very good ideas for reading and spelling.

Professional, detailed, thorough, and reinforces presentation. Fast pace at times – could have benefited from more individual, interactive, concrete activities. Each session was of a good length with breaks appropriately refreshing. I was stimulated and challenged by the presentation.

The course was interesting. Made me think of the different ways you could teach spelling. How you could use the programme for particular needs. I would have liked to be able to do more.

A thorough two days training on the principles behind THRASS and how to use it effectively in the classroom. Good balance of theoretical and practical. I feel much better about introducing the programme into my teaching and using the resources.

An interesting course giving different ways on teaching, reading and spelling. Lots of useful elements to be taken on board and put into practise.

Lots of good and practical ideas and resources to use in the class. The training has given me a lot to think about in teaching some of the complex aspects of word level work. Excellent resources for the IWB

An interesting and informative course very well presented. Lots of useful ideas to think about and include. Excellently thought out scheme and resources. Concentration needed at all times.

A very interesting and useful course. We were given lots of ideas for developing skills in handwriting, reading and spelling. I liked the variety of ideas given, and Hilary’s enthusiasm for THRASS.

An information packed two days. Excellent insight into the key skills needed to teach spelling, reading and writing at a basic level and beyond. Impact of THRASS across the school will need to be considered and planned for. Very well delivered – always useful to watch another teacher at work.

Very useful and enlightening – have used THRASS briefly in past but good to have a more in depth overview. Intend to use in Year 5 to address entrenched spelling difficulties.

A very good course with a lot of ideas and information. Hilary made it very clear and explained things in detail. I am looking forward to using THRASS in the classroom very soon.

The course was very detailed and very well explained. Hilary made me very aware of my own phonic awareness and was very hard to move away from the “old” way in which I was taught about phonics. I can now see that THRASS will help many children in school.

Very enjoyable, informative and articulate. I still think there is a lot more to learn.

Helpful insight into our phonographic language. Looking forward to working with Y3 on this scheme.

A really useful and interesting course that has made me think about teaching, spelling and reading in a very different way. Lots of information, games, ideas were given and I’m looking forward to trying some of them out.

A very thought provoking course. Extremely well presented, clearly a very knowledgeable facilitator. Practical ideas for the classroom were very useful. THRASS appears to be a very comprehensive and common sense approach to teaching the basic skills of literacy.

Excellent course, full of practical ideas for classroom activities and clear information for teachers. Good demonstration of available resources. Extremely helpful for extending children’s skills.

Excellent course. Full of useful and work/useable material. THRASS training has enormously enhanced my skills. I feel confident that the children will benefit from my new knowledge. Hilary was fantastic.
