There aren't enough positive words out there to describe this course. It is one of if not the absolute best summer courses I have ever completed. The depth of knowledge that I have received from the course cannot be overstated. It was presented fantastically and constantly woven back into how it could practically be used in a classroom, the reason why it all works - backed up by current research and relevant literature, how to make it engaging for students and practical for teachers who have 100 other things to do at the same time. Honestly, just a completely outstanding course. Thank you.

"This was hands down the most amazing course I have ever completed. So practical, inspiring and thought provoking! I cannot wait to put the learning into practice on our return to school! Having access to the videos and resources is such a gift - being able to review and have them as a point of clarification is a gamechanger. Thank you to Treasa and all the team involved! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Effective Spelling - an absolute must for all teachers!"

"I found this course to be truly excellent. The balance between research and practical classroom applications was remarkable. It has left me feeling empowered and well-prepared to implement changes in my instruction, knowing they are founded on solid research. Moreover, I deeply appreciate the fact that Treasa continues to teach, as it adds authenticity and practicality to all the recommendations provided. If she can do it, I know that I can do it (or at least try to do it). Please, never leave the classroom!."

This was, without doubt, the BEST Summer course I have ever done. I knew when I chose it that I needed to be very engaged while doing it as I knew that Treasa would be very comprehensive. But wow! No stone left unturned and by the end I had a very comprehensive spelling scope and sequence to follow (and the know how), along with ALL of the slides that I could possibly need. An unbelievable course! Well done Treasa
