Her confidence was at a complete low particularly in Math, however, working with her instructor really boosted her confidence.
I'd like to first start by thanking you for offering the math program. My child has nothing but positive things to say, and even his teacher (who is super tough!) has communicated marked improvements in both his attitude and work. Once again, we are incredibly grateful to your and your team and sing your praises all the time.
Over the past year, I have been deeply moved by the remarkable progress my child has made, particularly in her reading and overall confidence, thanks to the dedicated teachers and the comprehensive reading program at Foothills. Witnessing this transformation has only strengthened my commitment to the values and mission of the school.
Our instructor was so kind and patient with my child. She really took interest in her and connected with her which is paramount. Her confidence was at a complete low particularly in Math, however, working with her really boosted her confidence.
We just wanted to write and let you know that we noticed a marked improvement in our child's reading over the last month and he is very excited to be able to read more difficult but interesting books (Both paper and using Epic). We just
Thank you for the parent space to work. We could not have done it without this. I see such strength in your school and wish we could afford to send both kids full time. Clearly the children who are your students are supported to shine.
My son loved the Read/Write Program. His instructor was incredible. She made everything fun and he was excited to go every day. His reading progressed significantly and so did his confidence. He was sad when the course was finished.
The read/write program was essential to getting our son back on track. I’m not sure where his self-esteem would be without the extensive efforts of all his read/write teachers. We are so thankful for everyone’s support. I wish we had known about the program 2 or 3 years earlier, perhaps we could have avoided so many academic concerns. I hope every parent with a struggling student finds out about your program.
