Oregon Success Stories

We are very pleased with the programs from Essential Skills and use them regularly. They are wonderful for the fact that the children can work independently at their own ability level and pace. They offer good value as there is a one-time payment for each program but the license has unlimited duration.

Your programs fulfill the spectrum of needs for our students. They offer lots and lots of practice and are very motivating for the children. They are particularly useful for kids needing remediation. They stay completely engaged when using these programs.

Our grade 4, 5 and 6 students love Mad Minute from Essential Skills. The Super Phonics programs are great and are loaded with skill building activities. The children love them. The programs keep them engaged. The kids are motivated by the programs and they never get bored. We use Success Maker as well and love both Essential Skills and Success Maker as they complement each other very well.

The programs from Essential Skills are very effective and a great supplement to classroom instruction. They are helping our students immensely with their reading and comprehension. Our students are motivated by the programs and are able to work independently at their own pace regardless of ability level. All students can achieve literacy with Essential Skills.
