Testimonial
I started Brain Friendly Reading with my students and I am amazed at the progress I have seen from kindergarten to 4th grade!
By tapping the charts daily, students have made significant gains in letter/sound connection, especially vowels!! My students look forward to the chart tapping and are engaged from start to finish!
Arm spelling has been a critical piece in the program that has supported my students reading and spelling!! The lesson pages encompass decoding, encoding, fluency, comprehension and vocabulary. You can teach so much with one lesson page! It is exciting to see so many students increase their ability to read and spell.
The games that come with BFR are a perfect way to practice and review skills. Students are so excited to play! I am passionate about this program and want to share it with anyone who wants to help their students or own children excel in literacy! Kristin Dwyer and her Brain Friendly Reading team have been helpful with our school wide implementation and offer continued support and opportunities for professional growth.
Watching my students' faces light up knowing they succeeded is the greatest gift!
