Indescribable Feeling

“As a parent it can feel challenging and overwhelming to realize that your child is struggling to read and process words and sounds.  After struggling to teach my son Aaron to read for over a year I asked Kathy to evaluate him. Kathy began working with him right away and it was such a relief to me to know that she was ready and trained to help Aaron.  Aaron was six years old when he started working with Kathy twice weekly and he is eight years old now.  At age six he could not recognize letters or even begin to reproduce their sounds.  This October Aaron took the California State Star 360 test and tested above his grade level in reading.  He can now go to the library and check out books and read them aloud or on his own.  Sometimes I am not sure who is more excited by this – Aaron or me!  It is an indescribable feeling to see the confidence and the joy that he feels by being able to read.  It has opened up the world to him.  Kathy has been incredibly committed to our classes each week.  She is always on time, prepared and ready to teach.  She is highly trained and qualified to help teach reading, phonics, language rules and spelling.  Even more importantly she cares about her students and connects with them in a way that they know she thinks they are special.  I can’t thank Kathy enough for her help with Aaron!”
