| LANGUAGE! Customer Testimonials | |
|
|
| "The growth I have seen this year in my middle school EL [English learner] students speaks to the power of LANGUAGE! My seventh grade EL students previously placed below 2.5 [on the Summative Assessments] and made significant gains to nearly 6. "The multisensory approach makes 'the connection' for my EL students. The pacing allows for students to practice, review, and retain the instruction." |

| "LANGUAGE! is the greatest. I could give story after story of successes. I'm finally teaching LANGUAGE!, the students are learning, and I can document it. I've had my high school learning disabled students cry because they were trying so hard and didn't master a test. Now my students are engaged and learning; they love to see the improvements they have made. "Unlike other programs that just don't excite after the first couple of years, I get more and more excited because I'm finally using a research-based program that is helping my students develop self-confidence as well as learn reading and writing. I'm a veteran teacher of 27 years; this program has rejuvenated me. "Thank you, LANGUAGE! developers, for all your efforts in developing and continuing to develop this research-based, scope and sequenced program that works for most students with special needs." |

| "LANGUAGE! has helped my seventh grade students immensely. Students' CSAP [Colorado State Assessment Program] scores have increased, and LANGUAGE! hit on 90 percent of what was on our CSAP. "This curriculum has given my students the tools that they need to be successful but missed out on in their earlier years of school. I have a lot of ELL [English language learner] students who did not receive the phonics or spelling rules early on, and LANGUAGE! has helped them to spell and read better. "My celebration is that next year I will move three students out of LANGUAGE! and into an advanced class. These students came to me reading at a fourth- to fifth-grade reading level. I am so excited to have taught this curriculum and to share my success stories." |

| "Sixteen LANGUAGE! students at Sutter Middle School in Los Angeles (Unified) School District made the honor roll this quarter! It is something that none of these children ever thought they would accomplish. Keep up the good work!" | |

| "A student came to me as a nonreader in the sixth grade. After two years with LANGUAGE!, he is now reading on a third- to fourth-grade level. LANGUAGE! has made a lasting difference in his life." | |

| "We are thrilled by the results of LANGUAGE! over the past two years! Our students have progressed remarkably well, and the Test Distribution Graphs for Level II that almost all students have moved out of the 'at Risk' range (below 500 Lexile level) to the 'Basic,' 'Proficient,' and even 'Advanced' levels. In over 20 years of teaching secondary students I have never seen a program that so methodically and systematically addresses the needs of teen non-readers. I have witnessed some students develop very strong reading skills in a short period of time as the 'holes' from their past were filled in." | |

| "I cannot say enough positive things about the phonics components of LANGUAGE! within the EL classroom. My students have made great strides with clarity of speech, decoding, and word recognition. Also, the Speaking and Listening [to the English Language] box is terrific; I use it almost daily. I find the prewriting strategies, especially the Blueprint for Writing, easy to scaffold for the beginners." | |

| "LANGUAGE! offers so much to struggling students. They read more proficiently with greater prosody and fluency. Decoding and work with syllabication has helped them with pronunciation. Many students initially felt anxiety about spelling—they can now tackle larger words and make sense of spelling rules. When they came to class, few were able to write a sentence—by mid-school-year, they were successfully able to write essays. As a teacher, I think this is a great curriculum—a steady layering of tasks that lead to a sequential process of skill building." | |

|
| "I am rejuvenated and excited because I am using LANGUAGE! I already see the students benefiting; now that I know what really works, I am fully committed to learning and using all I can of LANGUAGE! I know it is the very best thing I can do to help my students." | |

| "The summer school intervention project was phenomenal. I cannot believe the gains made in such a short time. Every parent asked me, 'What did you do with my child?' They (the children) are all reading at home because they want to. It is the first time my child has enjoyed reading." | |
