Catherine Davis, Computer Coordinator, Bennett Elementary, Sun Valley, Nevada
"Our teachers and students love your programs. I have seen a tremendous performance gains especially in our Kindergarten and first grades. One student in particular started in September not knowing any English and now knows all of his basic English vocabulary. It is the practice that your programs offer that helped him to improve so much."

Michelle Blake, Computer Technologist, West Wendover Elementary, West Wendover, Nevada
"Our 1st and 2nd grade students are using Phonemic Awareness for one hour a week. It is definitely helping them. The students are very motivated by the success they are having and really like using the program."

Pamla Tognoli, Literacy Specialist, Yerington Elementary, Yerington, Nevada
"We couldn't be more pleased with our student's success at Yerington Elementry School. We have become an Exemplary Turn Around School in Nevada! We have done many great things and one of them is how we implement Essential Skills software. We have matched Essential Skills software to the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) content strands. We find out where a student is struggling and match the Essential Skills software to that strand for remediation. Students' RIT scores in those strands have greatly improved also increasing their overall RIT score! Students are getting the targeted remediation they need. Essential Skills matches our state standards and the MAP DesCartes wonderfully. The best part is the students love the software and are increasing their academic skills in the process!"

Madelon Isbell, Teacher, Roy Gomm Elementary, Reno, Nevada
"Grades 1, 2 and 3 students are using the Reading Comprehension programs every week. I feel the programs play a significant role in the development of their reading skills. Our students find ESS programs motivating and user friendly."

G. Monnett, Teacher, Virgin Valley Elementary, Mesquite, Nevada
"All the teachers in the school are using Essential Skills programs with their students. The kids have been improving their literacy skills and having fun at the same time. Your programs are an excellent value."
