THRASS FOR PARENTS |
|
Parents can play an extremely
important role in helping their children to learn to read, write and spell. This
website contains details of many resources that can help parents understand both
how THRASS is taught in the classroom and how they can also help their children
at home.
Key Facts about THRASS explains the main features of
THRASS, the reasons for using it and what teachers, assistants and parents say
about it. Parents are also encouraged to become familiar with the features, phases and stages of the programme by participating
in a free email-course using the
www.thrass-tips.co.uk
portal. This popular course, three separate emails sent at weekly intervals,
involves activities with webcards, a profilecard and a calendar chart.
In the PHONICS 4 PARENTS
website, there is information on how to register for and download v5 of the
THRASS Phoneme Machine, a groundbreaking computer programme that uses moving
human lips to demonstrate the pronunciation of sounds (phonemes) and hundreds of
frequently used English words, four introductions to English Phonics, using
streamed Windows Media Video (wmv) and a range of resources to download. The
