Over the last month I have had a lot of great things happen with my students. I am so proud of all of my kindergartners because they are now reading! It's been exciting to see them go from struggling to know their letter sounds to now being able to put them together and make words. I can tell that they are even impressing themselves when they get a word correct! It is such an improvement from where a lot of them started. I also have had a great deal of success with my first graders. One student has exited from the program and while another first grader recently qualified to exit, I am still working with him for a bit longer to ensure that his progress is maintained.
So many of my students have come so far! It really is such a motivation for me. I have watched many scores increase over the last month. I am so happy with the success this program has provided so far for my students. I am glad to be in this program and helping kids who really can use this extra push. I am especially proud of one of my kindergarten students who improved her letter sounds per minute by 44 letters! She has come such a far way in this amount of time. I really love how much this program gives these students the special one-on-one time that they need to reach their full potential.
