 Academy of Reading
Forrest County Agricultural High School has implemented the Academy of Reading as a class to build reading skills in our special needs children. As superintendent, it is gratifying to me to watch as our high school students who are “non-readers” suddenly realize that they have mastered the skills that enable them to no longer dread being called upon to read!
The training and support provided by the staff at TE21 allows me to stay abreast of not only how our students are performing, but provides me with the data that administrators need to effectively evaluate the program and instructors. Our Academy of Reading representative is only an email away when we have questions or concerns. Without reservation, I recommend the Academy of Reading to schools who have students who struggle with reading.

 "“…we piloted their nationally renowned interventions—the Academy of Reading and the Academy of Math—in several of our schools to assist our struggling students with their reading and math preparedness. The results of these interventions were impressive as many of our students improved from minimal and basic levels to proficient and advanced levels after using the Academy of Reading and the Academy of Math."

 "Lake
Cormorant Middle
School loves
Academy of Reading! It was
amazing to see the
drastic growth that
our students
exhibited after
beginning Academy of
Reading. The program
was high interest
and fun which kept
our students
motivated to reach
their goals and earn
their trophies.
Their confidence
grew as well as
their performance in
their academics and
growth assessments.
The support and
training that we
received from the
Academy of Reading staff was
outstanding. Not
only did they
provide meaningful
onsite visits, but
the feedback, follow
up, and
administrative
reports that we
received were
helpful in
evaluating our
school’s, students’,
and staffs’ overall
performance. We are
grateful for the
tremendous amount of
support that we
received and look
forward to using Academy of Reading next year!"

“What a pleasure it has been to begin building our relationship with TE21. The support provided throughout the entire implementation process has been simply amazing. In just one year, we have seen significant academic growth for our children participating in the Academy of MATH and Academy of READING. Expertise, sincerity, and a commitment to all children certainly set this company apart from many others. I would highly recommend these programs to anyone looking to improve student outcomes in reading and math.”

“TE21 offers a great support system which is very helpful. It is easy to set up and track students on a daily basis. The students have shown significant gains in their class work, district tests, and their end-of-year DIBELS test. In my 19 years of working in Elementary Education, I have had the opportunity to work with many programs. I can truly say that I love the TE21 Academy of READING and MATH.”
