“His confidence and self-esteem is much better, it is really noticeable. He enjoys learning now. Before, he used to get frustrated and angry and he doesn't get like that now.”
From the parents of Mark, Graduate

“His teacher says she can not believe he’s the same student...He used to swear he couldn't read. Two weeks ago he took a book to school and proudly read it to the whole class. His attitude is totally different.”
Marilyn C. Morris

"Spelling was really hard for me. I just could not seem to learn how to spell a lot of words. It made me feel stupid. Spell checkers - were/are a wonderful tool as computers developed, but early on that would only work if you were by a computer with spell check software. Anything hand written always struck fear into my heart. I always had to ask others how to spell this or that word. Embarrassing!

That all changed when I went through this program! Learning to spell new words is not a big issue anymore. I still make some mistakes, but now I have the tools to help me overcome this challenge. It has made a tremendous difference in my life and I have more confidence now!"
From Julie - Program Graduate
