“Previous programs we have used had my daughter convinced she hated language arts and was not very intelligent. After a month..., she was saying that spelling was her favorite subject in school! When asked why, she said, ‘I understand it now.’ She actually brings a piece of paper into the kitchen while I am cooking and asks me to give her words to spell, just for fun! This from a child who shed countless tears last year over her spelling book!”

“Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put into Reading Works workshop over the years. ....I was so impressed with the drive you had to unlock the beauty of The Writing Road to Reading. That you saw its genius and stuck with it and found a way to make it work for you and your students show your commitment to your students and the passion you have for them to succeed. That you have made the effort to share your discovery with others and have poured yourself into making it available to us through Reading Works and Grammar Works shows the broadness of your heart. Thank you so much.”

“As a college English major with a fairly good grasp of the English language, I honestly expected little more from the Reading Works workshop. How delightfully surprised I was. I found the workshop not only informative but inspirational and challenging. I can hardly wait to teach my children using Reading Works and The Writing Road to Reading, and to learn so much that has been lacking from my own education. When I realize all I have to learn in the area in which I feel I am fairly knowledgeable, I am absolutely frightened of my inadequacies in math and science. Thank you...I am exceedingly grateful.”
