Thoughts on Reading, Writing, and 'Rithmetic

One of the best things about working at Applied Learning Processes is hearing about former students who are continuing the successes they began with us.

Last week we got an email from a very happy mom. Her son was with us in 2005 and 2006 as a 1st grader. His needs were among some of the more severe we've ever seen. We worked with him on phonemic awareness and beginning reading and spelling, language comprehension and math. Four years later, his parents and his school are still seeing improvement.

He got a 100% on the following spelling list:

remain

pressure

dance

appear

plantation

bear

convey

encyclopedia (yikes)

continue

become

flicker

nose

dungeon

The week before he got an 80% on a math test with almost complete independence. His mom told us that he has been moved into the regular spelling group, and she is looking forward to seeing him continue to improve. So are we!
