We have had positive feedback from both teachers and students who have been influenced by Plugged-in to Reading. At Jefferson Intermediate and Jackson Intermediate in South Bend, Indiana, I witnessed firsthand the affect of Plugged-in to Reading being used in the classroom.
Seventh-grade teacher at Jefferson Intermediate, Jennifer Horner, says,"I have never seen students so enthused about reading and working on reading related activities. I have noticed a great improvement on my students' test scores, fluency, and overall comprehension. My students went from thinking they could never do anything successful with their lives to believing in themselves and their future."
I saw students reading, enthusiastically discussing the books, and participating in group debates. These were students who once hated reading and never finished a book. Plugged-in to Reading has exposed them to books they can relate to and now they're hooked!
