Jo Bunch, Grade 2 Teacher, Faith Bible Christian School, Aloha, Oregon
"We have 2 computers in our classroom. The kids rotate using them. Someone is using ESS programs everyday. They are used as a station in our reading group. I find the programs to be a good assessment tool. The programs are easy to use and easy to hear. I think the Marks Manager is very good. I am so happy with ESS compared to the programs we were using last year - the children are learning, not just saving a princess in the castle"! I am very, very happy with your products."

Heidi Fettinger, Grade Six Teacher, Suntex Elementary, Riley, Oregon
"We have 7 ESS spelling programs form grade 1 to 6. The Grade 1 & 2students use the programs on a weekly basis for 1 to 2 hours. We like the ability to customize spelling lists. The programs are user friendly and I have noticed improvements in the students' work."

Carol Owen, Title 1/Kindergarten, Fremont Hay Elementary, Lakeview, Oregon
"We chose Sight Words and Vocabulary Builders 3 because we thought that 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade would be able to use them. The programs have met a lot of needs - we love them. The 1st & 2nd graders are using the programs 25-30 minutes a day in a lab setting. The 3rd graders are using Vocabulary Builders for 30 minutes twice a week. The kids love them - even their typing has improved! I like the Marks Manager because the activities are all listed. We are really excited about your programs."
