I would like to share a few quotes that I have gotten in emails to start.

"My name is Sandy Overstreet and I am the Reading Specialist at Liberty High School in Bedford, Virginia. My classes are using the Plugged into Reading Series, and loves it!!"


"We are enjoying the Plugged-in program very much. The students have had a very favorable response as well as the teachers."-Waynette Weese Greenwood 50 Special Ed Supervisor

Another quote from Waynette--
"Our students love the program."

In addition, at several if not all of the trainings I have had supervisors come up to me and tell me that they can tell that the teachers are excited about getting started. They usually tell me about how the teachers are used to sitting through a lot of trainings to introduce new materials and they are bored, but they could see it was different with Plugged-in. At one district, Calhoun County, they had originally purchased Plugged-in as an after school program. All of the teachers in the after school program were also the regular ELA teachers during the day. After about 45 minutes into the training, they asked their supervisor to use the materials during the day instead of after school.

I was able to observe in some PITR summer school classes this summer, and in every class the kids were begging for more time to read independently. One girl even went up to the teacher and said "How many kids our age that are in summer school would be begging to have more reading time."
