We saw a big impact on pupil progress within two weeks. Children enjoy the lessons and parents are happy that their children are learning to read and write. Parents enjoy the confidence that they gain by knowing that what we are teaching is tried, tested, and successful in so many schools around the world.

Colleen has been invaluable to our schools. Her warm, supportive, and nuanced teacher training sets everyone up for success. Her oversight of instruction and student outcomes has made sure that nothing falls through the cracks. Students in all of our schools are progressing beautifully and loving the process. Twelve out of ten stars!

Colleen is the most incredible, kind and patient teacher. When she is working with my son it is like watching him with a friend who he truly adores. Colleen is able to relate to her students on a level that is extraordinary, and it makes you feel immediately comfortable in her presence.

“Our staff is so excited to be highly aligned in this work. We want all of our kiddos to be readers and we are jazzed to make it happen now that we have this “toolbox” with which to do so.”
