Last year, I moved out of state. I LOVED the results I saw when using Crosswalk Education presentational techniques during my phonics block so much that I continued to implement them in my new school. At the beginning of the year, only 26% of my students were at benchmark on DIBELS, and 42% were scoring in the intensive range. By the end of the year, all but one of my first graders were at or above benchmark. I can’t thank you enough!”
