“As for the students, they loved it when I would play back their stories for them to listen to. How often do students get to hear themselves read? Listening to their stories together turned into a great teaching moment.”
— Julie Ravlin, Second Grade Teacher, Riverside Community School District
“When comparing between our BOY and MOY assessments by grade level, I can see growth in a very short amount of time [with Reading Assistant].”
— Special Education Teacher, New London CSD
