"Essential Skills programs are a wonderful reinforcement to what we are teaching in the classroom. They are very child-user friendly, the teacher does not have to stay with the student while they are using the programs. We are very pleased."

Catherine Pinchott, Lincoln Elementary, Port Washington, Wisconsin
"We have been using Essential Skills software for a few years. Classroom teachers will come to me for advice on which programs the students should be using. The students are making measurable gains using these programs."

Pam Kescenovitz, Rockfield Elementary, Germantown, Wisconsin
"We are using Reading Comprehension 2 to help the grades 3's before their state reading test."

Fran Bolger, Technology Coordinator, Hi-Mount Community School, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"Essential Skills programs have some great features. The teachers love the Marks Manager. The children like working independently and they love the reward and reinforcement they get from successfully practicing their skills. The primary teachers are using the programs as part of their literacy block."

Deborah Stocco, Special Education Teacher, Mosinee Elementary, Mosinee, Wisconsin
"My students love using Essential Skills and I love the reinforcement it provides. I try to order at least one or two programs every year. They correspond well with the IEP goals for my Special Education students. The skills taught line up well with the state curriculum standards. These programs are wonderful for Special Education because it is easy to isolate skills and teach to specific needs. I also love the record keeping and reporting features."
