Your child, Emma H, was recently given the fall Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening (PALS) assessment. The scores for kindergarten come from the tasks of rhyme, beginning sounds, lower-case alphabet recognition, letter sounds, spelling, and concept of word activities.

The benchmark score for kindergarten is 28. Your child’s score is 57 which does meet benchmark. ”

My daughter, Emma H., is a student at Reading Window and this is the result of her hard work. Thank you Reading Window. Lewalta H.

And this is what his mother explained on the same day:
Last year in Kindergarten he would crawl under his desk at school and cry.  He would tell his teacher that he had “bugs in his brain”.

James’ mother’s letter:

I have seen the greatest change in James’ confidence and attitude towards reading. He started out only being able to read a few words in a book we read everyday. After two weeks with Reading Window, he can read the whole book. He is so proud of himself and that is better than anything. Before he started, he gave up quickly. Now he tries and tries. Even if he fails, he is confident. I appreciate all you have done, not only with his learning, but in his ability to believe in himself.

Thank you,

Jennifer M.

Just a note to let you know how pleased I am with The Reading Window program. As you know Jacob is now entering his third week with Reading Window. His frustration level with reading has decreased to almost none! He actually wants to “finish a chapter” at night after having his lesson already. I also notice that he is actually comprehending what he is actually reading, which is a first for us! It makes me so happy and proud for him! He loves going since the very first day. Sherri has worked out a way with him where if he doesn’t know a word, he still does the “first sound” and is then helped. She has a wonderful way with him and is very observant in everything he does. I am very confident with this program, even after this short time!

Thank you all for all you do.

Dear Sherri, I noticed Catherine read a book without being told to a week after she started the Reading Window School. She has more expression now and seems to enjoy her reading. Thank you, Bernice

My family would like to take this time to thank you and the Reading Window family.

Your organization has helped make this summer very enjoyable and academically productive for my son. My son constantly stated that he wished his 50 minutes with Ms. Sherri was longer.  One day he even wanted to know if Reading Window had a school program; because he likes how they teach.

He now reads posted signs without prompting. This action was avoided prior to Reading Window.  It brings a smile to our faces when our son edits his reading and other speaking errors… smile.

We all have noticed the significant increase in my son’s vocabulary, fluency and reading ability.

Recently in a meeting with his ESY Coordinator to review his assigned work over the summer, my son wanted to do an impromptu reading for her; she was very proud and impressed with his reading; she gave him many accolades.

We humbly thank you Ms. Sherri and the Reading Windows organization.

With Much Appreciation,
James W. and Jo-Anne K.
