Brilliant course!! I learned a lot and understand now
(at last) where children’s spelling problems came from.
Dynamically presented and explicitly explained. The
theory and assessment, classroom applications provided a basis from which the
educator and children could expand. Can’t wait to start.
A whole new way of looking at literacy! I am really
excited about putting it into practise! Thank you, Laola!
Wonderfully inspiring! Presentation was excellent –
riveting in fact – Laola, you are an inspiration! Hope to see you again soon
– to show you our progress!
Enjoyed very much. Do you run three-day courses?! The
theory is essential, however, it would have been great to have participated in
even more practical applications of the different stages.
Very interesting, mind-blowing! May take some
convincing to get teachers who are set in their ways to agree to change!
I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. I would like
to see more of the results and to see it work in action, especially as it really
requires a paradigm shift. I have one concern in the implementation of it
because of costs involved.
Enjoyed the two days very much. It was very
interesting and informative. I would have preferred another day for more
practical use.
A well-presented course, considering the amount of
information shared within a short time limit. The theory and reasoning behind
the methodology was clearly explained. The mind shift was a great experience. It
now makes sense! (our teaching of the complicated English language). The
resources are wonderful. Well done!
Excellent presentation – The answer to an age old
problem of sounding and not spelling! Thank you – Please come again – soon!
A well presented course. Exciting and informative.
Thank you!
Thank you for a stimulating course. You have inspired
me and I am eager to start "THRASS"ing about.
A thoroughly enjoyable and informative course. I
could have enjoyed another two days as the course was most interesting. I hope
that I will be able to present THRASS to my class as enthusiastically as you
presented it to us. Thank you so much, Laola.
A well designed and presented course. The enthusiasm
and knowledge of the presenter inspired me. I cannot wait to start implementing
this programme. Thank you, Laola.
A really eye-opening, mind-boggling experience. Thank
you for your help and enthusiasm. I’ve really learnt a lot in these two days.
Very mind-boggling – I enjoyed the course. Laola
presented it very well. A brand new idea for me – feel a bit confused at the
moment.
I really enjoyed the course and found it interesting.
I do feel some more practice – maybe some refresher down the line. I also
think if it is over a few more days there could be interaction with the
materials in group work so we can get more of a feel. Laola was the perfect
person for the course. Thank you.
Very interesting approach that was clearly presented.
I can’t wait to start working with this approach in the classroom!
Excellent. A new way of looking at phonics – very
comprehensive. Well presented by an enthusiastic and articulate lady. Thanks
Laola.
The course initially proved to be quite a challenge
to be able to change one’s mindset. However, once the THRASS course became
clear to me, I could see the benefits that our children would have. The course
was excellent! Thank you!
To begin with, I was very confused, but things fell
into place the more we worked with it. I do feel that this is going to help the
children in their beginning stages of learning. Laola was very patient with us.
A really worthwhile course. Laola’s enthusiasm
certainly kept the course interesting. Can’t wait to see results.
A very interesting and fun course. I feel
enthusiastic and eager to begin THRASS at our school. Thank you for spending the
time with us.
Damn Groovie!
The course was very interesting and enlightening. I
certainly learned a lot and will definitely incorporate it into the school. It
is a very practical way of teaching. Laola was a very good lecturer and very
helpful.
Outstanding, clear, repetitive and easily understood.
A very good explanation of THRASS in total, giving us a whole picture of where
we are going as well as how to teach each phase. A very BIG thank you for
uplifting education and literacy.
Excellent – very interesting. I am feeling very
enthusiastic about THRASS.
