TESTIMONIALS FROM SUCCESSFUL PARENTS, TEACHERS AND STUDENTS
THE
PHILOSOPHY behind Brainsarefun is simple. We say in effect, “Kid, it
doesn’t matter how miserably your environment has failed to teach you
the basic concepts... We’re not going to fail you. We’re not going to
discriminate against you, or give up on you, regardless of how unready
you may be according to traditional standards. We are not going to
label you with a handle, such as dyslexic or brain-damaged, and feel
that we have now exonerated ourselves from the responsibility of
teaching you. We’re not going to punish you by requiring you to do
things you can’t do. We’re not going to talk about your difficulties to
learn. Rather, we will take you where you are, and we’ll teach you. And
the extent to which you fail is our failure, not yours. We will not cop
out by saying, He can’t learn. Rather, we will say, I failed to teach him. So I better take a good look at what I did and try to figure out a better way."
Zig Engelmann, founder of Direct Instruction

SOLUTIONS THAT WORK TODAY
DEAR PARENTS,
TEACHERS
AND STUDENTS,
There are lives with a future for those who know how to read. For the rest, I'm afraid the news isn't very good.
Why start with reading? Because teaching kids to read floods them, their teachers, their parents
and skeptics with 100 hours of success, fast.
I
have found few experiences in life more enjoyable than reading.
You and
your kids can too. It
happens all the time.
Brainsarefun
provides you with the skills and behaviors to teach all kids to read - based
on $1
Billion of research.
When students are flooded with success they learn to trust. Over the
course of a year their
remedial and accelerated gains double and outstrip any program,
anywhere.
Parents, teachers and students live lives with a future.
Thanks for all you
do to help kids succeed. Let me know how I can help.
Never, ever, ever
give up. And, above all, Love!
