Jack The Great



I took this photo of Jack during a break from his post test. When Jack first came to Langsford, we spoke with his teacher who said he was really motivated and wanted so badly to be able to read chapter books. He was being hindered by weak phonological awareness.

After about 6 weeks of sessions he was sounding out well and fluently reading Nate the Great, a fun detective series of books that early elementary students love. Post testing showed that Jack's reading rate and accuracy are at the early 4th grade level. Nice job Jack!

We didn't get a chance to get a picture like we did with Anna, but one day Jack brought in his brand new puppy to the Middletown office, a white golden retriever named Ryder. Maybe one day Jack and Ryder will solve lots of mysteries just like Nate the Great and his dog, Sludge.
