Students and parents LOVE Zoo-phonics!
"Students and Parents LOVE Zoo-phonics! My kindergartners adored their zoo animal friends, and they especially enjoyed singing “Come Meet Us At The Zoo” each morning shortly after arriving at school. But most rewarding to me as their teacher was meeting around the table with my smaller reading groups and noticing a child using the animal alphabet signals to decode a new word. How exciting to have equipped my students with such a useful tool!"Kelly Witmer, retired elementary school teacher, Achiever Christian School May 31, 2018
You will get GREAT RESULTS with Zoo-phonics®!
“I had these results: one student was reading at a 1.9 level, two students were reading at a 1.6 level, three students finally understood letters = sounds = words, and tested 1.0, and two students were getting to associate letters = sounds and sounds = words. These were Kindergarten students and did better than some other students in K-2 district wide testing! I am using three reading “programs” to teach reading. Yours is the best and most productive program I have used in my 31 years in teaching K-12th graders. I cannot say how well your program helps my students learn to read. I recommend it to all teachers in my district!”Brian Koharian Teacher, Fort Yukon Elementary Fort Yukon, AK June 11, 2015
The Zoo-phonics® program is exceptional
The multi-modal approach to instruction and learning coupled with the fun Zoo-phonics® friends is truly a winning combination! As important is the commitment of the Zoo-phonics® staff to ‘educate the educator.’ You really went above and beyond to make sure my staff was properly trained, and the workshop was extremely helpful for our classroom implementation. Our trainer presented not only the broad concepts but gave us practical applications and tips. The research behind the program is sound. In short, it just makes sense. The Zoo-phonics® program is exceptional and has far exceeded our expectations.Jessica Russo Director of Preschool, St. Mark’s Cathedral School Shreveport Louisiana June 11, 2015
Teachers LOVE Our Workshops!
I am really excited about what I’ve learned at this fun hands on workshop. I am ready to head back to the class to show the kids!Teacher from Grand Rapids, MI June 11, 2015
Great reviews and comments!
Just wanted you to know we received your appreciation gift and wanted to say Thank You! The effects of the training were amazing. I have heard great reviews from many preschool providers utilizing Zoo Phonics now and parents commenting on the children’s knowledge already. It is very exciting to see this approach sweep through Modoc County!Heather Tufts Modoc Resource and Referral Director Alturas, CA June 11, 2015
