My concern about my learners’ language barriers and how to overcome these barriers has been solved for me.

It was a weekend to remember… I had enough time to make plans for things at home. Thank you, it was a joy to listen to someone so passionate about his work.

‘BCP is foundational to a child's learning. It is the building blocks on which all other concepts are built. A concept needs to be fully understood by a child before a new concept can be taught. We often rush children's learning due to time constraints which is not correct.’ (KIDZPOSITIVE, Occupational Therapist, 2011)

Teacher Feedback

The training was very effective and informative … and gave us insight into how to teach and develop language. I wish there could be more of such training to develop ourselves further.

Metro South Education District: Teacher Training (February, 2014)

Thank you very much for the training. We learnt so much from you and how to run the programme... This was interesting and we really enjoyed it.

Kwena Basic Education Trust

Thank you for introducing me to this "life skill". It is wonderful that there is also an online, interactive, support system with resources available.
