* It has made him an excellent reader! It took him from being the lowest in his class to one of the better readers! Since the completion of his reading program, Jacob has excelled in all areas of his school work. Ms. D.'s program was very important to our son. We would have struggled all year without this program!
~Ann K., parent~
* My students who've gone through Ms. D's program have much better decoding skills and increased confidence. She is a wonderful resource for our school, teachers and parents. Those in one on one lessons make tremendous gains in reading and are able to develop their own self extending system of strategies!

* Thanks so much for what you have done with Kyle! Your work with him has made him feel so much better about reading. I wouldn't have been able to do that for him myself. I believe Kyle is now using every strategy you've taught him in figuring out the hard words in his books.

* Jessica is displaying a
great amount of confidence in her reading ability. She really likes the idea that by reading, she will be able to learn things in books rather than always asking someone questions. Not only has Jessica excelled in reading, but her confidence in her other school work has increased. This program has been empowering for her!

* Joel has come such a long way! In the beginning of 1st grade, he used to say things like "I don't want to go to school" or "Reading is too hard!". He was aware that his reading and writing skills were lacking. Now, he has improved so much! He loves to read. We always read before bedtime (together or he reads to us) then we give him independenet reading time. He always has a stack of books beside his bed!

* Ms. D's program has helped my daughter develop wonderful reading skills, confidence and instilled a desire to read and write. This program has truly changed my child's attitude about school. We read together every night and have independent reading time as well. We go to the library on a regular basis.

* Drew's self-confidence and writing skills have really improved. She wants to read more often and really enjoys it! We have made reading more fun by having Drew and her sister read to the family. Thank you so much for caring about Drew! This program has been a blessing to the people who need it!
