- Dear Mrs. A. Wells Mark,
I am writing this note to let you know that your Word Song CD and charts have been a miracle worker in my ESOL classes.
One of my First Grade students was cited as being a non-reader. This same child after three weeks with sections I and II was noted to be in level 7 in his Reading Running Records book. This in November 2004 placed him on grade level.
In another instance, one of my Third Grade students shocked me and Mr. Rivil, our language facilator, when he asked to spell and could spell the words in all sections in just three weeks.
Just letting you know that your strategies really do work.
I know that I will be reporting even more achievements from my students because of the Word Song, CD, and charts.
Thank you very much,
Ms. C. Ward
!! AND THE BEAT GOES ON!!
