“Ms. Kennedy’s deep interest in our son made all the difference in his attitude toward reading. She worked with him on the basic foundations of reading and we saw a huge improvement in his reading fluency and confidence almost immediately. Ms. Kennedy was able to tap in to his particular learning needs and make learning fun!”

Debbi, parent and school principal

I think you spelled out beautifully the unique learning challenges [he] is tasked with and how to best work with him. This should serve as great insight for those working with him at [middle school] this coming school year. We really appreciate this!!”
