Can THRASS be started at any age or is it best at KS1 and then built
on later? |
THRASS can be started at any age. Information on
implementation is given on page 15 and photocopiable sheet S1. Generally,
speaking older children (or adults) start with T8 Keygrapheme Recall and the
rest of the Profilecard outcomes are completed as, and if, necessary. For
example, having learned the sixteen keygraphemes on the top row (C1) and their
associated keywords (Keyword Recall), a teacher might decide to focus on
speaking and listening skills (T1), the naming of letters (T2), handwriting
(T3), the naming of graphemes (T4), articulation of the phonemes (T6), synthesis
(T7), analysis (T9) or the reading and spelling of Hotwords/Basewords. For most
older learners it would not be necessary, given success at T8 to do T5 Keyword
Location or T1 Picture Location (unless the learner had poor speaking and
listening skills, had intellectual difficulties or was, perhaps, learning
English as an additional language)
