Sally Cramer –
I used the Make-a-Word Hop mat to teach spelling words to a second grade boy. His most recent test scores had been 0/10 and 4/10. I spent 20 minutes working with him on 9 of his 10 spelling words for the week. On his post test, he only missed 1 of those 9 words! He was ecstatic over this score and decided to use this methodology at home with his 5 extra credit words. He reported to me that he got all of them right after using the Math & Movement methods ON HIS OWN. Thank you, Suzy Koontz, for creating tools and methodologies that can radically improve not only a child’s knowledge and skills but also a child’s self-esteem and self-confidence!
