The ten stages are fully explained in the essential guide TEACHING THRASS (T-50).

T7. KEYWORD SYNTHESIS
Learners are able to blend, read and spell the keywords using the Phoneme-Grapheme Book.

That is, learners are able to:
• say the phonemes, words and letter names, simultaneously with the Phoneme-Grapheme soundtracks (tracks 26-33 on the Raps and Sequences CD, T-51);
• point, with an index finger, directly underneath the graphemes and letters and slide an index finger directly underneath the words;
• blend, read and spell other words in books and signs; and
• practise reading more of the five-hundred English basewords in books.

Alan Davies, educational psychologist, demonstrates with a Grade 4 class (9 year-olds). The home language of the children is Zulu or Sotho and this is their first lesson with THRASS.
