Colorado Success Stories

We have 5 programs from Essential Skills at our school. The students love the programs. We use them as remediation and as a supplement to our curriculum. We received great value for our money with this software.

Sight Words is on every computer in our school. The teachers and students love the program. The primary grades use it daily. The older students use it for remediation. We previewed the program last year and said: We want it, we want it, we want it!

Essential Skills Software definitely provides excellent practice and reinforcement of the skills we work on in the resource room. I like the fact that it is easy for the students to use independently at their own level and pace.

We use Essential Skills programs for our ELouisiana & LD students. Sight Words is very important for the ELouisiana students and has really helped them develop their speaking and reading fluency.

We couldn't be more pleased with our Essential Skills programs. They are definitely a major helping component of our reading success. We purchased the programs through Read to Achieve funding. They are indispensable to our reading program.

I really like your software. It is the best overall package for our students. For 1st graders to work quietly for 45 minutes on anything is something!
