"Our Students are using ESS programs at least 4 times a week sometimes twice a day. We use these programs with all of our grades to help the students prepare for state testing. Our ESL students also love your programs and use them to build reading and vocabulary skills. I would highly recommend Essential Skills Software."

Denise Kempke, Grade One Teacher, Claflin Elementary, Claflin, Kansas
"Our K - 2 students are using ESS programs twice a week. The Title 1 and Resource students are also using the programs. I feel they have greatly helped the majority of our students. I would recommend your programs."

Mary William, Computer Lab, Hoxie Elementary, Hoxie, Kansas
"Our teachers like ESS programs because the students are motivated and they learn the required skills. Our grade ones use the programs for 20 minutes everyday. Second and third grades are using the programs in their classroom and fourth and fifth grades use them everyday. The teachers like being able to enter custom spelling lists and have the spelling programs automatically create activities for the students. Your software is being well used at our school."

Virginia Gibson, Title 1 Teacher, Greely County School, Tribune, Kansas
"I think ESS programs are very helpful. The kids like them and use them at least once or twice each week. They really enjoy learning their sight words this way."

Jamie Edmondson, Special Education Teacher, Chetopa School, Chetopa, Kansas
"Students are using ESS programs three times a week. They really like the programs and are motivated by them. I have even had Junior High students using the programs. In my student assessments I have seen significant improvements."

Marilyn Reynoldson, Reading Facilitator, Lincoln Elementary, Jct. City, Kansas
"We teach reading in groups based on a student's reading level. We start our students with Phonemic Awareness and Sight Words and then move them to Reading Comprehension and Vocabulary Builders. We get a lot of use from these ESS programs. We use them before state testing and they have made a difference in test scores. We like how easy it is to use the Marks Manager and access all the student records. Our kids love these programs!"

Connie Potts, Title 1 Coordinator, Claflin USD #354, Claflin, Kansas
"Your programs are great and they correlate well to the state guidelines for language arts."

Chris Sisk, Systems Operator, Buffalo Jones Elementary, Garden City, Kansas
"Both the teachers and the kids love the Essential Skills programs. I would like to see them district wide."
