"All of our teachers agreed that CraftPlus has been a fantastic program. We are
very excited to see results in another couple of months. As we "dissected"
writing samples, we saw evidence of CraftPlus in every child's piece."

"I am a 4th-grade teacher at Mermentau Elementary. This past summer, I
was introduced to your writing program by my instructional assistant, Jackie
Hanisee. I looked over the program and received special permission from my
school board to utilize the program this year. I am now going into week eleven
of the program, and I can't tell you how impressed I am with my students'
progress. This is my 12th year teaching 4th grade, and it is the first time
that I actually feel like I'm getting through to my students in writing! Writing time is now something my students and I look forward to each day. My
students have taken to the skills I've taught them. They are not only using the
skills in writing, but in other subject areas. When we are reading, they stop
me to tell me about some good writing practice they see in the reading. I am so
confident in my teaching of writing that I asked my principal to observe my
teaching of writing for my formal observation. I just wanted to share with you
the success I'm having, and let you know how thankful I am to be using this
writing program."

"We are
loving CraftPlus and thank our lucky stars every day for having it. Our children
are enjoying learning about a thesis statement, strong verbs, and descriptive
attributes. We like how the assessments are built in each week and how grammar
is integrated throughout...we find it very user friendly."
-Lori Rosenberg, primary writing teacher at Imagine Charter School at Broward in Coral Springs, FL
