Portable Document Format

I was thoroughly impressed by the philosophy and methodology. I can immediately see the value of learning in this way and hence, have recommended its immediate implementation. I found the facilitator to be passionate and enthusiastic and this rubbed off on the teachers present. Thank you for the opportunity of keeping abreast of current trends. Congratulations on a worthwhile course.

Excellent presentation. Good aids and evaluation sheets. Outstanding programme – results speak for themselves. Heard from many in Botswana what an awesome system it is. Thank you – an enjoyable and informative two days. Glad to have access to this course.

Very worthwhile course. It makes so much sense to teach handwriting, reading and spelling in this manner. I am looking forward to implementing this method with the pupils. The course was well set out and easy to follow and understand. The facilitator was passionate and enthusiastic about this method.

Very informative – makes sense to use it, but somewhat overwhelmed with how to implement it! Very interesting and look forward to changing my methods in the class!! Very well presented – Thank you.

It was excellent! Thank you very much! The presentation was vibrant and interesting and examples were clear. The information should just sink in and revision be done on your own!

Very interesting concept. Look forward to trying it out in class. Would like to learn more!!

Addressed essential aspects of teaching reading and spelling in a very enthusiastic manner by a very knowledgeable presenter.

A very informative course. Enlightening to know that someone had the insight to do something about the things we knew were not being catered for in the English language – sounds etc. Thank you so much for bringing this exciting new challenge to Africa.

What an amazing teaching method. So easy to understand. I am sure the children will love to learn the different raps. I cannot wait to implement this in my class. The picture cards are bright and colourful and the chart is easy to read. Great course.

Most informative and exciting. A challenge, however, teaching Grade 0, there was lot to our age group. Good that I was on the course, as I now know where the balance of the groups in the school is headed. Thank you for an exciting way in which the course was presented. “Passion was catchy”

Very informative and interesting. We were stimulated and given lots of new ideas. It all really makes sense and we are looking forward to implementing THRASS into our grades. Thank you!

Process seems very logical. Course very interesting and informative. Very daunting, but am motivated to begin using the programme. Can definitely understand how what we have learnt will benefit the pupils in the long run.

Fascinating. An approach that makes sense. We need a big change in mindset and a lot of practical experience before feeling confident in this. Look forward to the new challenge. Thank you so much for an interesting and lively presentation.

A well-planned and proven system. Very exciting, as it will provide a more thorough approach to spelling, particularly. I am sure it will help speed up our pupils’ development. It does seem rather daunting, but if we take the bull by the horns and get started, I will learn quickly, and so will the pupils!

Enjoyed the course!! Found a lot crammed into two days, but cannot wait to get into the classroom. Understanding will come with usage. This is the way to go!!

THRASS offers educators a “near to perfection” method for effective teaching. After years of searching, I have finally found something one can really use, which I, too, believe in!! Thank you. Thank you, Laola, for your enthusiastic and interesting presentation. I, too, share your passion in “getting it right from the start”.

It was great! Wish we had Laola here longer to work with the children!! I would love to know more. I will do my best to ensure that THRASS is “set to work” ASAP. Laola is a wonderful presenter!

The presentation and material were both very polished and user friendly. It is a whole new mind change, yet it seems very exciting to be stepping out and approach teaching English from a new angle. I enjoyed the course!

Extremely interesting and valuable to any teacher. It was very well presented – Laola passionate about what she is presenting. Thank you. Anyone and especially children can benefit from this methodology.

I was excited at the prospect of new input into the teaching of English. I feel the weaker readers would be able to get excited as well. Thank you.

An interesting and exciting course and looking forward to seeing how it goes in the classroom! Still a bit vague as to where to start, but feel it will fall into place as we get to grip with it in the classroom.

It is an interesting, exciting new idea. The presenter was knowledgeable and approachable and very patient with the many questions! Thoroughly enjoyable!

It was a worthwhile experience.I am excited about trying it in class. It is going to take a mind change from the “Letterland” mode, but I can see the value. Thank you for an enjoyable course!

Very informative and well presented. Thank you Laola. Much appreciated and enjoyed.

Wow! Thank you for a wonderful course. I cannot wait to begin with my Grade 0 children, Thank you for reinforcing the need to stimulate and enthral the younger children, Laola. We have some bright 5 and 6 year olds, who will take to this methodology. I look forward to the challenge ahead.

Much more content can be fitted into the time. I felt that there was a lot of repetition.

Found the course to be exciting and interesting. The concept is amazing and I cannot wait to see it being implemented. The thought of sitting for 2 entire days to “learn” was daunting – but in reality – the time flew and I thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. Laola’s passion was captivating and her will to share information and answer questions was appreciated. Thank you!

I think the “map” is an outstanding, state-of-the-art tool for teaching reading and spelling. I am looking forward to incorporating THRASS into my instruction. The first day was very good, but some repetition from the original “sales” presentation. I understand the need for others to hear this, but I would have appreciated more examples of how to integrate, incorporate and practically set up.

THRASS is a very good concept and easy to use in pre-school. Course was good and enjoyable.

Very good course. I will find it very useful to our learners.

A great deal of information. The more we work with it, the easier it will become. Very well presented.

Very exciting. Confusing at first, but all seems to fall into place. Practise makes perfect! Thank you for explaining so thoroughly, Laola.

Excellent. Came in a little unsure – scared of change – now teaching will never be the same again! Thank you. Presentation of course by Laola – amazing!

Laola was fantastic! The whole world must buy into THRASS. I am a disciple. Thank you.
