“I cannot speak highly enough of Student A who is an absolutely smashing student who remained positive as he was developing his reading. In our reading sessions, Student A would always attempt to read aloud, even if the text was challenging, and would actively track while others were reading.”

“Student B has returned to English fully able to access the English curriculum. What an improvement! Before Direct Instruction, Student B really struggled with learning and was extremely reluctant to participate in any reading or writing activities. Now he regularly volunteers to read and enjoys sharing his written work with the class.”
