"We are using Essential Skills software every day. We find it useful and helpful to our children. We test their sight word ability and their reading comprehension twice each school year. The results show that the Sight Words and Reading Comprehension programs from Essential Skills are very effective in teaching these skills to our students."

"Essential Skills offers the best software programs I have ever found for special needs children. I have used your programs for years. Our elementary teachers also find the assessment programs very helpful for testing and tracking their students. These programs have had a major impact on the improved Mississippi Curriculum Test scores with my students. Their MCT scores have gone up at least one level each year. The children love using these programs and they are anxious to get on them every day."
