Evaluator's Observations

“My students are doing incredibly well. There was two-to-three years’ progress in four weeks. I thought, There is no way this is happening. But it happened over and over and over with these students. To have a student who was at the kindergarten reading level as a junior now reading at a fifth grade level ... you can’t put a value on that. One of my students picked up a book for the first time and read. If students have the confidence to decode, then they will embrace reading. It is truly one of the most rewarding semesters I’ve had teaching in my past 22 years!”
