Amazing testimonial

I heard a story tonight from another Waterford Learning at Home consultant. He said his daughter used the Rusty and Rosy software at one of the community centers when she was four years old. He didn't think much of it until one day he was carrying her down the street and she read, "Emergency parking". Then she asked him what food stamps are as they went into the grocery store, and pointed to the notice and read, "Food stamps accepted here."

His daughter was reading so well she skipped kindergarten and first grade, and is now 16 years old and has an interview to get into Yale today.

Quite a story! Sounds like Rusty and Rosy helped get her off to a great start.

Jack is taking off!

My sister told me Jack read two new and challenging words last week--knowledge, and according. Pretty good for a boy who hasn't started kindergarten yet! He's been using the Rusty and Rosy software for about two and a half months. He is dedicated to using it every week day.

Way to go, Jack!

Testimonial- Zoe's homework

My niece, Zoe, is in first grade and has daily homework and reading requirements. She has gotten into the habit of doing her homework right after dinner, then using the Rusty and Rosy software just before bed. A few days ago she came home from school and asked her mom, "Can I hurry and do my homework now so I can do Rusty and Rosy?" Her mom was surprised she'd ASK to do her homework and said of course she could!
Sometimes Zoe even stands behind her brother while he's using the software (even though he is younger and at an easier reading level) just to cheer him on and see what he's doing.

Way to go, Zoe!

Testimonial- Jack can't wait!

My 5 year old nephew, Jack, used to have a difficult time having the motivation to get up, get dressed, and get going in the morning. Since he started using Rusty and Rosy Reading, as soon as he wakes up, he gets dressed and asks to get on the computer to do Rusty and Rosy Reading. He loves it, and his reading skills have improved so much in just a few weeks!
