Quotes

"Failure Free Reading addressed the fundamental academic deficiencies of the ELL and Level 1 students at our school. Their academic progress was evident, as was their – and their parents’ -- enthusiasm."

—Ezequiel S. Zulueta, Roberto Clemente CIS 166X

"I had third grade students who could not read a complete sentence. Now they are reading whole stories. All my students were eager to read and their self-esteem grew by leaps and bounds. I enjoy teaching students who look forward to coming to class."

—Clara Powell, Bienville, L.A.

"Life Skills worked when nothing else did for our total non-readers"

—Ginny Carden, Special Education Admin. El Paso Independent School District, TX

"In ten days, our 6th to 8th grade students went from writing one and two sentences to writing two and three page drafts and asking for more work."

—Cecilia G. Dudley, Summer School Principal and Instructional Specialist. Pasquotank, NC

"Because all activities are interactive, the student is reinforcing basic skills at all times, but not in isolation. Here again the student only meets success and this is indeed wonderful for students who have been plagued with failure."

—Jean Lawson and Amy Greggerson, El Paso ISD

"Many of our middle school students were able to, for the first time, read age and grade level appropriate materials… (and) move on to more involved, higher order thinking skill material."

—Martin Haberl, Instructional Coordinator, Cecil County Public Schools

"The success stories are almost too remarkable to believe unless you see it first hand. Teachers love the program because it’s easy and it works. Students love it because it’s engaging. Parents love it because often, for the first time, their children experience success. The bottom line is that tough-to-teach students learn to read, and suddenly their whole world changes for the better."

—Dr. William Schipper, Former Executive Director, NASDSE
