"We love the programs. I have been using them for tutoring and the kids have improved the way we hoped. The installation was simple and quick and we started using the programs immediately."

"These programs are great! I use at least one of the Essential Skills programs every day. Most definitely the children are benefiting. The skills taught in the literacy software correlate highly with the state standards. I highly recommend it to everyone!"

Linda Ross, Technology Assistant, Chincoteague Elementary, Chincoteague, Virginia
"Our teachers thoroughly approve of and love Essential Skills Software. The programs are just fantastic! They are very thorough in going through the math and reading processes and in reinforcing the skills. It is very rewarding for the students and they are making measurable gains from using these programs. We use the software to reinforce the skills and to backup what the teachers have taught in preparation for the VSOL."

Sylvia Coleman, Grade One Teacher, Boydton Elementary, Boydton, Virginia
"Sight Words is a program that I really found to be beneficial in my first grade so we ordered it for the full lab. This software is the answer to teaching sight word recognition skills. The repetition and feedback from the program was excellent. It has a very effective reward and reinforcement system. It is very well organized and easy for the children to understand."

Sherry Hale, Title One Teacher, North Tazewell Elementary, Tazewell, Virginia
"We use Super Phonics, Sight Words and Reading Comprehension a couple of times a week with our Title 1 children. We also use the software as a reward for our classrooms if the children have kept up with all their assignments. The children are making measurable progress using the software and the skills in the programs correlate well with VSOL."

Adonno Moreno, Reading Specialist , Sweethaven Christian Academy, Portsmouth City, Virginia
"I use Reading Comprehension once or twice a week with students having reading difficulties. It is an important part of their reading program. This software is great for reinforcing the skills that need to be strengthened. The Reading Comprehension programs are having a significant positive impact on the students' reading ability."

Christine Majette, Technology Teacher, Nottoway Elementary, Sedlay, Virginia
"The Essential Skills programs are really great! I see an improvement when the children have been using the software for even a short while. I have seen obvious improvements in the word recognition skills of the children who have been using the Sight Words program. Navigating the programs and printing reports is a breeze."
