Congratulations to Leyla, our December Star of the Month! Leyla is an 11th grader at Rock Brook School in Skillman, New Jersey, who has used Read Naturally's GATE program to transform from a non-reader into a reader! Here is what her teacher, Ms. Rina, shared about her:
"Leyla began attending Rock Brook School in the 9th grade. She came to us as a non-reader, and in the last two years, using both Read Naturally GATE and Orton-Gillingham phonics instruction, she has become a reader. She reads every single school day and works really hard now that she has discovered the power of reading. As a school for students with communication impairments and other disabilities, we strive to meet students where they are and develop their skills functionally. Read Naturally GATE is an integral part of her daily language arts instruction, and Leyla takes pride in her reading progress. We are really proud of her because she could not read a single word, and now she is more confident and excited to read and share what she can do."
Amazing progress, Leyla! Keep up the great work!
