Teacher Testimonials
“Our kids are steaming away through Blitz and continue to do very well with it. I was trying to explain to a non-teacher friend why I’m teaching a phonics class to a group of 7th graders and I had to explain that it would be like waking up and realizing that kids in Algebra class didn’t know how to add and subtract…if that were the case you’d teach them how to do that ASAP. And that is the case with phonemic awareness—that’s why we’re grateful for your program.”
– Teacher, New Haven, Connecticut
“The lessons are so empowering . . . I feel empowered and so do my students.”
– Teacher, Cambridge, Maryland
My students have made comments like – “I can get this, or I can do this!”, and “This is much better than the reading we used to do”. You always you think that what doing is pretty good, but when the kids notice a difference, that’s important.
– Special Ed Teacher, Hurlock, Maryland
“The difference between these lessons and the lessons I used all my life is that these lessons work.”
– Teacher, New Orleans, Louisiana
“The students (9th graders) wanted to nominate their teacher for an award. When I asked why, they said ‘because she taught us how to read.’”
– Administrator, New Orleans, Louisiana |

Student Testimonials
“Before we got Phonics Blitz, I just used to skip the words I didn’t know.”
– 10th grade student, New Orleans, Louisiana
“Now I can read almost double the words I read when I started. I used to read 50 words with 10 mistakes in one minute, and now I read more than 100 with no mistakes . . . These lessons work so much better than other ones I have had.”
– 9th grader who has been diagnosed as having dyslexia, New Orleans, Louisiana
“When I first was put in a reading class, I didn’t like it. But now I am glad because I can read better and I found the class interesting.”
– 10th grader, New Orleans, Louisiana
“I used to have trouble sounding out my words and now I don’t. Phonics Blitz helped me to sound out words, so that I can figure them out. I’m a better reader.”
– 10th grade student, New Orleans, Louisiana
“Now I know how to read better. I stop at periods. I don’t skip words I don’t know. I sound out words that I don’t know now. Phonics Blitz helped me to read a lot better than I used to. It helped me to break my bad habits and helped me bring up my grades.”
– Libby, 5th grade, Hurlock, Maryland
“I used to hate it when I get called on to read in class. Now I don’t mind when I get called on, and sometimes I even volunteer to read.
– 9th grader, New Orleans, Louisiana
“I’m glad that we had the Phonics Blitz lessons. In Middle School work will be harder and I’ll be able to read multi-syllable words. “
– Aubrey, 5th grade, Hurlock, Maryland
