YAY for DATA! YAY for Their SUCCESS!
I have 11 YEARS worth of Silent Elephant “e”™ data. 11 years!
I’ve been watching Silent Elephant “e™” truly change children’s lives (and their parent’s lives!) for 11 YEARS!
During those years, I’ve taught preschool through high school students who were struggling to read, write and spell. Some were staffed into special education. I have also had a few students who were not struggling at all but whose parents knew about Silent Elephant “e”™ and wanted their children to have a solid foundation in reading, writing and spelling.
Over the years my students have included those with:
Dyslexia
ADD or ADHD
Speech and Language Disorders
English Language Learners
Autism
Hearing Impairments
Down Syndrome
Dyspraxia
Central Auditory Processing Disorder
Low to Extremely Low IQ
Other Learning Differences
Those with No Learning Differences
I share all their differences, because IN SPITE OF their differences, they have ALL SUCCEEDED in becoming fluent, confident readers, writers and spellers. Some needed the gift of time, to move at their own pace slowly but steadily, which is a powerful component of Silent Elephant “e”™. Others quickly moved through the entire program.
THE point here is – THEY ALL HAVE SUCCEEDED!
Regardless of having learning differences or not, THEY ALL HAVE SUCCEEDED!
Are you ready to be impressed by the 11 years of data, the quick, amazing progress my kiddos are making in a short amount of time?
Over the last 11 years, students learning with Silent Elephant “e”™ 1 ½ - 2 hours/week, on average:
·Advanced 1 grade level for every 2 months of instruction. (Think of this: my students are not taking a school year to advance a grade level—they’re advancing multiple grade levels in one year.)
·Advanced to their age-appropriate grade level in 4 months (some in as little as 2 ½ months). (Some of them were 2-6 years behind their grade level when they began learning with Silent Elephant “e”.)
·Advanced 4 grade levels with 6 months of instruction. (😊 Wow!)
·Mastered Part 1, Phonemic Awareness within 3 months. (In 3 months, they understood the basics of written language and were ready to fly!)
In these last 11 years, 9 of my students have successfully exited out of special education which is unheard of. All nine of them are now competent, confident students who are having a good time in school learning easily and are proud of themselves.
Also in these 11 years, 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™” and both the school and the parents knew the success of Silent Elephant “e”™ students.
I’m so pleased to share all of this with you!
I’m so proud of all those whose lives have been touched by Silent Elephant “e”™ (students and parents) from the beautiful, profoundly dyslexic young woman who is no longer struggling and is in her junior year of college majoring in neuroscience to the sparkling little one who began second grade this fall reading on a sixth-grade level after two years of learning with Silent Elephant “e”™ beginning in her Kindergarten year.
If you are wondering how Silent Elephant “e”™ can support your children as their (and your) comprehensive pre-school to college reading, writing, and spelling program, please email me at silentelephante@gmail.com or call me at 208-859-4406. You will love watching their success as much as I do.
Keep a song in your heart!
