"As a literacy leader for a Title I elementary school, I have found the Small-Group Reading model easy for our teachers to learn and use.  We have seen significant gains not only in our at-risk students, but also in our average and above average readers.  The implementation of this model has resulted in fewer special education referrals." 
          Angie Goodwill
          Literacy Leader - Blythe-Bower Elem.

"Before I began using the small group reading model, most of my students read below grade level.  Now, most of my students are reading at or above grade level, their confidence has grown and they enjoy reading and learning."
           Allison Barham
           2nd grade teacher

"Dr. Beverly Tyner certainly understands what impedes making changes in a literacy approach and the simple, key elements that help teachers become more effective in teaching reading.  This reading model covers important areas in reading such as assessment, word building, writing, fluency, and comprehension.  The model offers a clear approach on how to help children with different learning styles on ALL instructional levels without resorting to skill drills."
