What Parents Say About Our Program

"He's doing so great.  He had a reading test the other day and he scored very high.  I was so pleased!  Cudos to you!" - Mango, Florida

"I am so pleased with the work you are doing with him.  The things you are teaching him, I cannot teach him at home.  Really, I am very pleased and very happy." - Annandale, Virginia

"My son is in first grade and attends an accelerated school, but he fell behind because the teacher does not have enough time to work with him.  His peers are reading on a 2nd grade level and I cannot get him to read at all.  When I ask him to read, he runs away crying.  As a result of your work with him, he can read and now reads confidently.  He still has to sound out some words, but he knows how to sound them out. Before, he would just look away.  Your work with him has made a big difference." - Burke, Virginia

"You are so great with him.  He's only 4 years old and working through a first grade reader!  His teacher told me that he is the best reader in the class!" - Burke, Virginia

"My sons are doing so well.  They know so much more because of you.  They don't listen to me when I try with them.  It works with you.  They listen and pay attention with you.  I have watched you teach them how to read.  This is wonderful!" - Springfield, VA

"My daughter was on the verge of not being promoted to the next grade due to her inability to read and comprehend well, but as a result of being in your program for three months, she passed the required test and will be promoted to the next grade in the fall.  She now knows all of the primary sight words and is able to read with confidence" - Seven Corners, Virginia

"My children like the program and I prefer not to miss a single lesson.  I like your incremental approach to teaching them how to read.  You are giving my daughter exactly what she needs to become a stong reader." - Alexandria, Virginia

"My son is only three years old.  He is doing so well.  He is learning so much because of you.  When he began your program, he didn't even know the alphabet and now he knows virtually all of the required sight words.  We love it!" - Springfield, Virginia

"Thanks to you, she is picking this up so fast.  She's doing much better with reading in school." - Woodbridge, VA

"The girls are learning to read so fast.  I don't know what I would have done if we did not find you.  I was so worried, but thanks to you they are reading!  Right now they are about four reading levels above their classmates." - Annandale, VA

"My daughter can read, but she was having trouble with some of the more difficult words.  Now she reads much better and can sound out any word. - Alexandria, VA

"Thank you so much.  Thanks to you, my son was recently selected to be moved up to an advanced 1st grade reading and math program. - Springfield, VA

The intentional teacher is one who constantly reflects on his or her practices and makes instructional decisions based on a clear conception of how these practices affect students. Effective teaching is neither a bag of tricks nor a set of abstract principles; rather, it is intelligent application of well-understood principles to address practical needs. - Robert Slavin, Educational Psychology: Theory and Practice
