THRASS PART-DAY COURSE,
GTG, SOUTH AFRICA, JAN 17, 2005

Excellent presentation. It makes a lot of sense!

A very effective and enjoyable presentation. You have a convert.

Wow! Can I go back and learn to read and write again! Thanks for the bigger picture.

Amusing and entertaining. A system which will, I think, change the lives of the poor spellers and the poor teachers! A friend at another local school is very impressed with it. Would like to use THRASS as a classroom tool – paradigm shift.

Excellent, logical progression and sequencing with fantastic language enrichment.

It is a brilliant programme and it was well presented. I would like to use this to teach children! Thanks!

Very valuable – found it really interesting. It all makes real sense.

Seems to be a brilliant programme. I am already thinking of kids I could use it with in my speech therapy sessions. Presentation style was excellent! Very gripping. Entertaining, interactive and very informative.

From a Speech and Language Therapy perspective, so sensible and informative… I’m sold!

Wonderful presentation. This stresses the importance of teaching children the “full picture” correctly from the start.

Fascinating and made so much sense

An interesting, dynamic presentation.

An inspiration. Please come and train us!

Quite complicated. Have to be very familiar with it to teach it successfully.

A wholesome and inspiring programme to enable children to read, write and spell! Interesting and delightful presentation!

Interesting, informative and broadening experience!

I’ve seen the wood for the first time!

Very similar to Phono-Graphix. I love the rapping and grapheme-location activities to make the children familiar with the letter picture variations and to help them find them quickly. Good multi-sensory tracing technique!

Interesting way of teaching. Good presentation.

Impressive. I feel that this is most probably what we need to really get the break through with our children.

Enlightening and fun. Will make a difference using boxes and spelling choices.

Fascinating and made so much sense.

It is a brilliant way to teach children the whole picture as opposed to the traditional sound-symbol approach. It gave me lots of time to think about and re-evaluate the current way of teaching phonics – including with older children.

Very good presentation. Easy to follow. Very interesting – good to see a different way to teach reading and spelling.

Very interesting and well worth further investigation. Much less limiting than conventional methods.

A wonderful, refreshing approach that just makes such sense. Fun to teach too! I wonder if children who have poor visual memories will remember the letters in the sounds despite the new way of approaching recall of graphemes.

Most interesting. Am interested. Wonderful presentation. Thanks.

Well presented. Seems to be an excellent system but will require a lot of training for teachers.

Excellent – really see great potential. Thanx! At this stage I feel totally incompetent as an English teacher.

A very effective and enjoyable presentation. You have a convert.

Absolutely outstanding. It should be used extensively in schools. Makes English simpler and makes so much sense!
