“Since my daughter’s time with Mrs. Cicotte I have seen exponential growth in her reading, vocabulary and comprehension. She recently had her state Istation testing and she jumped up 8 points from last month and has grown 20 points over the course of the year. She also exceeded her student goal for May by 5 points. The Phono-Graphix program has been nothing short of amazing for my daughter and I am so incredibly thankful for the amazing work that Mrs. Cicotte has done.” Allie
“I noticed incredible growth with my daughter’s reading ability after working with Ms. Cicotte. Before working with Ms. Cicotte my daughter read solely by memorizing words, she didn’t grasp the concept of sounding out the words. After only a few classes with Ms. Cicotte my daughter started reading without hesitation. She loved the activities Ms. Cicotte would send home and the rewards were great motivators as well. I honestly didn’t realize my daughter was in a special reading program and I reached out directly to her teacher to mention how much I have noticed an improvement. Her teacher said that it was Ms. Cicotte’s reading program! I would highly recommend Ms. Cicotte’s reading program to anyone.” Samantha
Jacque, a parent of a struggling reader called saying, "You are my last hope!" After two months of work with her daughter (1 hour of weekly sessions), she texted: "Michelle! I am so so happy! I just met with Marcie's teachers for her IEP and they were blown away with her progress! They agree that she's reading at grade level, her comprehension has gone way up. All her work has gone way up and they wanted to know your name and company info so they could pass it along to other families."
"Michelle is awesome! We have seen improvement in our child in a short period. Our son gets distracted easily and was not motivated to have a tutor. However, Michelle has made it fun and has developed a great relationship with him. Now he looks forward to going and is motivated to do his homework and show her his progress. She is also great at redirecting him when he gets distracted, without making him feel like he’s being corrected." Jeremy
