"We routinely evaluate writing samples and observe increased performance in writing and spelling with the implementation of the Sourcebooks. We are strong supporters committed to the materials. Our teachers are the practitioners who select powerful Sourcebook activities to enhance our total communications curriculum."—Dr. Jil Manga, Language Arts Supervisor, South Western School District, Hanover, Pennsylvania

"The Billings School District test scores have skyrocketed! In grade 4, they increased from the 47th percentile to the 57th. In my school, they rose from the 38th percentile to the 78th! By the way, the Tutor Me Training CD-ROMs are great for complementing the training seminar, for teachers who couldn't attend, and for new teachers."—Sandie Mammenga, Principal, Big Sky Elementary, Billings, Montana

Gwinnett County Public Schools, a growing Georgia district outside Atlanta, is using the Sourcebooks in grades 1-8 in over 60 schools. The program was selected by the Language Arts Committee, piloted, and adopted by the School Board for engaging Gwinnett students in more than just spelling. "We wanted a fully integrated word-skills approach to tie spelling with all the basic communication arts. One size does not fit all in our district! The flexibility of the Sourcebooks makes this an approach that is right for our teachers and students."—Joyce Berube, Language Arts Supervisor K-12, Gwinnett County Public Schools, Suwanee, Georgia

"We are thrilled to finally have a 'plan' for spelling that dovetails with our total literacy program. Never have we seen anything work so well! We met with parents to tell them up front what we were doing and why. They joined our "spelling team" to make it a totally positive effort by all."—Marcia McManus, Elko County School District, Elko, Nevada

"Rebecca Sitton's Spelling and Word Skills program heightens students' awareness of words across the curriculum. It makes them aware of their spelling and writing in all the subject areas. I've seen it happen!"— Nancy Mills, retired/former Language Arts Specialist, Chandler Unified School District, Chandler, Arizona

"Thanks to the Sourcebook Series, there's dramatic change in our students' attitude about spelling and writing! The program is solidly supported by teachers and parents who witness immensely positive increases in test scores, as well as students' success in their everyday writing."—Angie Crabtree, Director of Lower School, Webb School, Knoxville, Tennessee

"We have used Rebecca Sitton's program for several years. Our grade three SAT scores are now above the national average in all schools."—Dr. Robert Tabachini, Director of Elementary Education, Northeastern School District, Manchester, Pennsylvania
