We are absolutely thrilled to be using Treehouse Tales at our school and are convinced that by providing such a strong foundation, it will enhance our children's learning. The results achieved by the children taught by Delyth are truly amazing. Not only are the standards of writing improved, but the children are much more aware of grammatical structure and spelling - all this in a fun and creative format!
Headteacher and Educational Consultant

Delyth has succeeded in creating a learning system that is motivational, interesting and effective. It creates a sustainable platform of interest that moves pupils to experiment, to question, to analyse, to compare and to discuss their observations with their peers.

You have removed the obstacles and provided a ladder.

I was so impressed, the speed with which some children's confidence, self-esteem and literacy skills have improved. One boy's reading ability has improved by three years in seven months, and others have been almost as remarkable.
Extract from 'Education Extra'

During my visit to the school I had an opportunity to observe you using your resources with the children in the classroom. The enthusiasm and enjoyment exhibited by the boys as well as the girls towards the characters and the activities were very obvious.
By using these resources, you have taken advantage of the opportunities presented to develop language skills, literacy and the children's communication skills through speaking, communicating and listening in a variety of enjoyable, practical activities which build on the children's previous experiences, covering the whole spectrum of learning.
The resources offer opportunities to develop personal and social skills by using role play to discuss and suggest different emotions in a variety of situations. The system encourages interpersonal skills, teaching the children how to help one another, share and work together in problem solving situations. They have an opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding of their environment and the wider world.
Early Years Adviser

I remember my visit to your classroom several years ago. There was no doubt that your pupils were learning how to learn, across the curriculum, in the most creative and imaginative way. I well remember the enthusiastic response and achievement of your most able pupils who extended their learning at their own swift pace, far beyond what one would expect in an infant classroom.
I also remember the motivating impact of the stories in the absorbed commitment of less able learners - it's just that they could not be called less able following this approach. Their achievements matched the average expected at the age of 7.Over and above this, the children were equipped to learn independently and avidly in the next stage of their education.
The curriculum content of Treehouse Tales reflects the National Curriculum requirements, but it goes further than this.It brings relevance and enjoyable learning through play. It takes the work of the Desirable Outcomes into Key Stage 1 as a cohesive whole.

Mrs Owen's teaching methods have had a huge impact on Sam's attitude to learning. He has a thirst for knowledge and has become highly motivated and enthusiastic in everything that he does. We find his comprehension of the English language outstanding. Without Mrs Owen's teaching methods he may not have reached his full potential and achieved such a high standard of work.


We are very,very pleased with Abby's achievements this year. It mirrors her improving attitude, her willingness to read and write at home is wonderful.Her confidence, which has lacked over the last couple of years has soared!! I believe this has happened because of Mrs Owen's teaching methods.


This has been a fantastic year. Katie has had a wealth of experience - she has loved the characters that has come into every aspect of teaching, making learning fun. She has gained in confidence.


We are thrilled with Jamie's progress this year. His enthusiasm for school has exceeded all our hopes this year.

We are so pleased with Christopher's progress and his attitude to work. His enthusiasm never ceases to amaze.


The progress that Sam has made in Mrs Owen's class this year has been brilliant and I feel it is all down to Mrs Owen's method of teaching (Treehouse Tales). A huge THANK YOU is definitely sent to Mrs Owen.

I like reading because I can learn new things. I like Moley because he is nature. I like the puppet shows because they make me laugh.


I liked doing stories through this year. I have liked it in Mrs Owen's class. Luigi Lemon was my favourite character. I like his football.


I like geography because I like learning about other countries. I like learning about maths because numbers are fun. I like stories because you can imagine.


I loved being in your class. I loved seeing the characters. I loved Luigi Lemon and I'm going to remember him for ever.


Girls
It is lots of fun in year two. I like the characters because they are happy, kind and fun. I like Art because I like making things and it is fun. I like reading because it is good.


All of the treehouse friends help us to write, spell and learn. I really enjoyed this year. I like doing maths, History and a little bit of science.


I like Aled Apple because he helps with words. I like maths because it gives you a good brain. I like stories because you write.


It was brilliant here in Year two. I can not believe it is the end of Aled Apple and the characters already.My favourite character is Anna Banana.


My favourite thing that I have done in your class is the stories about the characters . My favourite character is Sally Snail because she has a rainbow shell and she can help me with my work. I like snails. Thank you Mrs Owen.
