Testimonials

Here's what educators, parents, and students have to say about the program :

"The best and most unique phonics program that I have ever seen in the state; a very systematic way to teach phonics to struggling readers..."

Robert Lindsay
Assistant Director of Special Education
Lincoln Intermediate Unit #12, PA.

"The phonics program developed by Mrs. Martin has truly benefited our students with reading disabilities. It is a wonderful program. Every school should have one like it in their building..."

David Teets
Building Principal
New Oxford Middle School

"At the end of my first year with this program, the reading gains that the students made were absolutely amazing. I knew I was teaching the right phonics program when a student said to me, "Thanks Miss J. for teaching me how to read. All the other ways didn't work for me. But this one did..."

Julie Jesmer, 5th/6th grade teacher
New Oxford Middle School, PA.

"One of the hardest things is to watch your child struggle in school and not know how to help him. I watched his self-esteem become so low because he couldn't measure up to the traditional teaching and testing methods in the classroom. In the past two years, we have watched a dramatic change happen in our son. His self-confidence has soared…We could never put into words how grateful we are to Mrs. Martin. We only know that her dedication to her work has changed our child's future..."

Mrs. Brady
Parent of 7th grade student
New Oxford Middle School

"I can understand first hand why the phonics program that Mrs. Martin uses with Cody's class has been so successful. I feel I should encourage her to document her process and procedure because I have never been exposed to any teacher who could teach phonics successfully to Cody. The sound cards are truly a remarkable and unique learning tool. Mrs. Martin should be commended. Cody's success is a reflection of her efforts. Keep up the good work..."

Parent of 8th grade student

"When I read and spell, I don't feel embarrassed. My spelling and reading grades have gone way up...reading comes naturally now."

Josh, 7th grade student
New Oxford Middle School, PA.

"My teachers played a big part in my reading levels going up. They were very interesting and taught me that if you use fun ways to learn things, they will stick with you forever. I feel this program had such an impact on my life. It has done so much for me. I have so much more confidence reading in front of a group of people..."

Crystal, 7th grade student
New Oxford Middle School

"When I read and spell, I don't feel embarrassed. My spelling and reading grades have gone way up. The goofy stories used to memorize the sound cards really helped me. The way phonics was presented was the coolest ever. I neverknew how easy it would be. Reading comes naturally now..."

JoLynn, 8th grade student
New Oxford Middle School

"Before this phonics program my reading and spelling was not great. I remember my science teacher called on me to read out loud. I messed up all of the words. If I could go back and read that book, I bet I could say all the words..."

Aaron, 8th grade student
New Oxford Middle School

"I learned more in one year than I have ever learned in past years about phonics."

Dan, 8th grade student
