TESTIMONIALS - ADMINISTRATORS
The Early Literacy teachers in my school district really appreciate Reading A-Z and the fantastic resources you provide us. We are also going to use Reading A-Z for our ESL students and plan on adding more users next year. Thank you Reading A-Z for this wonderful learning opportunity for our children.

I am so excited about this website and what I will be able to do with my ESL readers. Now, I'm even more convinced that subscribing to this website was a good decision--excellent help as well as an excellent product. Now my students are excited to do guided reading every day.

We are submitting a purchase order for several teachers in our district. We love your materials and will not give them up after having been exposed to them.
Irene Granado; Bilingual Director; Ector County Independent School District
Your Web site is so useful in helping me plan multiple lessons for the various levels of children I work with. The materials you provide give harried teachers a chance to offer quality lessons with minimal planning time. This benefits our children because it saves us time to devote to other elements within the classroom.
Rebecca Rogero-Victor; HOSTS Coordinator
I like the new look of your Web site. Also, I love the non-fiction books. Our school is focusing on non-fiction reading and comprehension in Grades 3 and 6 for our provincial achievement tests. Your books help my Grade 3 students, of all levels, gain skills deciphering non-fiction text comprehending the non-fiction selections on the test. I saw your Raz-kids Web site. I can't wait to show my students.

I’m hooked on your site, and I am excited that you are offering more materials.
Heather Bell-Williams; Resource and Methods Teacher/Vice-Principal; Milltown Elementary School; St. Stephen, NB Canada
I used your program all year, and it was so successful that it has become part of an action research for my board. Thanks for all your wonderful resources.
Sandy Magnani; Vice-Principal; Grand Erie District School Board
I have shared your Web site with many educators throughout our state. Thanks for all you do in helping children to be exposed to more reading materials.
Jennifer Hurt; Home/School Coordinator for Title I; Bristol Virginia Public Schools
My teachers/staff are all so very excited about their "new libraries!" We know our students will benefit from increased access to reading material written at their independent and instructional levels. Our staff will have more time to attend to the students' instructional needs since teachers will spend less time searching for/creating appropriate materials. Your service is now on the short list of indispensable items in our literacy repertoire. Thank you ever so much!
Johnett Scogin; Texas School for the Deaf; Language Arts Curriculum Coordinator; Austin, TX
Your books have been a great addition to our school’s guided reading books. My school uses the DRA levels for reading, and I was really appreciative of the spreadsheet you made to correlate your levels with the DRA levels. My students love your books and are growing by leaps and bounds by using them. I have one ESL student who jumped from a Level 2 (DRA) to a Level 18 (DRA) in six months! He uses your books all the time. I just wanted to say, "Keep up the good work.

I've gotten many phone calls from teachers all over the district who are using your program, and they love it!
Mickie Cox, Secretary to the Director; Instructional Technology Department; Irving ISD
Your site is one of the most useful and user friendly sites online. I am the project coordinator for the Migrant Program in a large district, and I found this site by accident. I am getting a PO ready for my teachers!
Ronna Silberman; Project Coordinator; Migrant Education; Fresno Unified School District
I found your site listed in an educational technology magazine that I receive and had some of my teachers look at it. One of my special-education teachers subscribed on her own; then the special-education director for the school system got a subscription for all his teachers. Everyone likes the product.
David L. Hawks; principal; Zeb Vance Elementary School; Kittrell, NC
I love your books, lessons, and organization. I am a principal in a rural area in which parents are not always able to purchase quality books. The teachers have been reading the A-Z books and then sending them home. I think this has been the best expenditure for our students, teachers, and parents.
