The teaching staff at Holy Rosary School in Limpopo are convinced that THRASS is the best thing that has happened to English, spelling and phonics. Many children in Africa cannot read or write English, even when they reach high school age but the teachers at Holy Rosary School tell us how THRASS is helping the children to speak better English and also to read at a much younger age. THRASS is a lot of fun and it makes the children want to work harder and learn more. 

The children particularly love the THRASS SING-A-LONG songs and in the video we see children of all ages enthusiastically performing a selection of the songs. SING-A-LONG is described as being very motivational and it helps the children overcome the difficulties they have pronouncing the words and also helps them to spell accurately. But it’s not just the children who love SING-A-LONG, the staff do too.   

We also see children of different ages being taught using the THRASS Picturechart and Phoneme-Grapheme Cards. What is particularly striking is that even the youngest children demonstrate an excellent understanding of phonemes and graphemes, and their spelling is excellent. 

Holy Rosary School would like to say a very big thank you to THRASS and Absa Bank for enabling the school to learn English in such a very easy way.
