What Are Your Plans For Next Year

Planning for Next Year—Now’s the time! 

This is one of my favorite times of the year. 

The sun is warm, the flowers are bursting out. It could be the perfect time of year.  

Within this past year I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you at conferences and/or visiting with you on the phone and/or through emails as I shared Silent Elephant “e”

I have many fond memories of our discussions. You had thoughtful questions. You were eager to learn about Silent Elephant “e” and how it could be an answer to many of your concerns.  

Since then, I have often thought about those thought-provoking conversations. I so appreciate your dedication and love of your children—whether your own beautiful sons and daughters you are teaching at home, those you are tutoring, or that classroom of sweet faces that you greet every morning.   

As April finds me smiling and enjoying the blooming tulips and cherry trees so fresh and ready for the sun, it also finds my mind leaping ahead. 

With these fresh eyes, my mind begins to envision the next year. 

I know I’m like you – we see the smiling happy faces of the children we love. We envision our children/students striding easily with self-pride through the next school year. We feel our hopes and dreams for them. We see them gaining vital information and skills to carry them successfully forward. 

We imagine them in their future—happy, successful, confident.  

While everything is fresh in my mind at this time of year, I love reflecting over the school year. My reflections guide my decisions about how I’ll actually accomplish my hopes and dreams for next year.  

Although it’s exciting to plan for the coming year, I must plan carefully right now. I encourage you to do the same: plan carefully right now. 

You want to begin next fall fully equipped—feeling like there is no question that you will be achieving your dreams for your children.  

This makes stopping, reflecting and considering purchasing Silent Elephant “e” an important step to take.  

You want to procure the BEST materials to accomplish exactly what you intend! 

I wrote Phonetic Reading with Silent Elephant “e” to be THE BEST phonemic awareness, phonics and spelling program! 

I wrote it to be the program that I always wished I had had throughout my years of teaching:

·       One that would teach me everything I needed to know in order to be the BEST, most effective educator.

·       One that would ensure that ALL, let me say that again, ALL of my students would quickly, successfully and confidently learn to read, write and spell at or above grade level. 

I wrote Silent Elephant “e” for you too! 

My years of data compilation prove that Phonetic Reading with Silent Elephant “e” truly is the BEST phonemic awareness, phonics and spelling program! 

With Silent Elephant “e” you can expect your children to:

·       Advance 1 grade level for every 2 months of instruction

·       Advance to their age-appropriate grade level in 4 months (some in as little as 2.5 months)

·       Advance 4.5 grade levels with 6 months of instruction

·       Master Part 1, Phonemic Awareness within 3 months

Then there is this statistic that always fills my heart with pride: in the last five years, 9 of my students have successfully exited out of Special Education!

This really is special. Being staffed out of special education is pretty much unheard of. All 9 of these students are now competent, confident students, eager about learning and proud of themselves and their accomplishments.

I have been able to support parents and teachers in their decision to refrain from placing a child in special education because the student was being tutored using Phonetic Reading with Silent Elephant “e”

Are you visualizing your children’s heads held high, eyes sparkling with confidence, faces full of self-pride?
