Emory C.

Parent

"He’s definitely reading more on his own. We don’t have to ask. He's just doing it. He’s reading words every chance he gets everywhere we go. I absolutely love it. He even surprises us reading words that we had no clue he knew how to read."

Delores Conners

Teacher

"Teaching Reading So Lit was one of the highlights of my 30 year teaching career. Seeing boys joyfully discussing different choices that readers make and listening to them express their reading preferences was magical."
