What Educators, Parents,
and Students Are Saying:
"After three years I
can honestly say ELI is the most effective, fastest working
program for LD students I have ever seen...the results are
permanent" (Principal, PA.)
"Jessica came into ELS™
a very shy, quiet little girl who kept her head down. She has
turned into an outgoing student with much better reading and
comprehension skills" (P.J., Teacher, MS.)
"Every year we lost
several students, from wonderful Christian families, because we
had no way to help. This year no one left --kids have been
helped--and we have a waiting list for our program. ELI is
great!" (School Administrator, PA.)
"Your program is so
easy to administrate. We have been able to use our present
staff without undo pressure--your support staff are so
helpful...Jamie’s reading comprehension has improved 4 1/2
grade levels in five months--unbelievable!" (Special Ed Teacher,
B.C.)
"My son couldn't speak
in more than one word answers before he started the program. Now
he is able to respond in sentences and carries on a normal
conversation with others." (Parent, WV)
"I cannot believe the
improvement in my son after only four months on the program. The
other day he came home with a list of 100 French words that he had
to know. I thought, 'there is no way he can do this!' but he
surprised me by knowing almost every single word. His memory
has improved so much! He is now doing better than his brother
in a lot of areas in school; his brother is two years older and
does not have a Learning Disability." (Doctor, Quebec)
"Over the years I have
seen students struggle. Seeing their frustration and the pain in
their eyes was sometimes overwhelming. As a teacher, I would do
all I could to help but usually to very little avail. I deeply
regret that I had not heard of Essential Learning Institute before
now. I keep thinking of all the students who have crossed my
path who could have benefited from this program. (Teacher and
Administrator, PA)
“My son is
remembering a lot more. His handwriting is actually
pretty now. Schoolwork is better. Over vacation, our
family commented on a tremendous difference in speech. He
is much more relaxed at home and doesn’t stutter as much.”
(Parent, PA)
“She is
noticing that her memory is improving. She can remember
things she could not remember before. When she does Math,
she doesn’t have the frustration, panic, and despair that she
had before. She feels much better about herself.” (Parent,
NH)
“We have
seen a marked improvement. He’s more focused than I
ever would have dreamed he could be.” (Parent, ID)
“My daughter
is paying more attention to her handwriting. Her
reading is more fluent and she’s learning to break words down
to be able to pronounce them better.” (Parent, WA)
“I applied
to a College of Business, but was rejected because my grade point
wasn’t high enough. After spending approximately ten weeks on
your program I was amazed. I could read materials and
transfer it immediately into long term memory and my reading speed
increased immensely. At test time, I became relaxed and
confident about taking the test because I was able to recall from
long term memory immediately the notes I had studied. I finished
seven hours of summer school with a 3.5. I used to be embarrassed
of my academic underachievement, but after I learned what the
problem was and how easily it could be corrected, this is no
longer so. I now share my story with anyone that I think might be
able to benefit from this program. (Student, Brent)
“Well, I am
going to tell you how the ELS program helped me. When I started
Kindergarten, I had to struggle because of my reading and now I am
a senior in High School, ready to start college for hair dressing.
I just wish I had had the ELS program when I was little because
then I would not have had the struggle I had. I have been
taking the ELS program for 7 months and it has brought me up 3
reading grade levels. I am so glad that I was able to have
this ELS program because I won’t have to struggle reading
anymore. It really helped me a lot and I hope this program will
help other kids like it did me. Thank you for letting me share.”
(Student, Kelly)
“I just want
to thank you and let you know how much the program is helping my
son. For the first time in his life he is interested in
learning, his self esteem has increased ten fold, and he has
ambition that I have never seen in him before.” (Parent,
Victoria)
“Wish we
would have discovered the program earlier.” (Parent, Ruth)
“His self
esteem improves daily and I see his desire to learn returning.”
(Parent, Jennifer)
“Amy is
doing well with the harder words that are in level 2. Her
reading is faster and smoother as well. It is wonderful that
she sees the improvement in her reading.” (Parent, Laura)
“I am really
pleased with his schoolwork. I guess I can thank ELI for that.
Simply put, he seems to be thinking. I’ve been so concerned about
his ability to learn. He is doing really well with Math and
Spelling and his reading is improving. I know he has a long
way to go to be age appropriate, but this is a wonderful start.
He is learning! He is thinking! Thanks! (Parent, Lois)
“I have
observed that Gabriel has become more motivated. He
will do certain duties without having to be reminded many
times. He will remember facts or events that I have
forgotten. His math has improved. He is able to do simple
calculations within his head, where he could not previously
do. He understands and remembers concepts more rapidly.
His verbal communication is clearer. He does not stutter
or stammer as much. (Mrs. B, NJ)
“I really
wanted to tell you the boys are improving greatly. Our one
son, who couldn’t read before, is really starting to read. It’s
kind of like the new life of a child; the new life he is
experiencing in being able to read. Both boys are miracles.” (Laurene)
“I think
ELI accomplished all we wanted it to do and more!” (Gail)
“ Overall,
the impact of the program is already extraordinary.
Alexandra is now reading at a level consistent with her age, and
her other abilities (math, reading comprehension, spelling)
are also greatly improved. Last year, she would sit next
to the stronger students in order to copy what they were doing.
This year, she seeks out the weaker students in order to help
them. Today, when she got home from school, she proudly announced
that she was the first in the class to finish her assignments, and
that she got everything right.” (JK)
“Angelique,
2 years after exiting the program, is still doing well. She loves
to read since her reading level has improved several grade
levels. Prior to the program, she couldn’t read, was very
frightened about reading, and never would attempt to read in front
of people. Now she reads extremely well and is very articulate.
I cannot say enough good about your company.” (Tina)
“I am
delighted with the results I see in my daughter. Her oral
reading has been improved beyond my expectations.” (Cathy)
“I see
improvement in my daughter already, certainly in
confidence.” (Ellen)
“Mack, whose
name has been changed for privacy, is a ninth grader who was
expelled from high school last year. He was getting all F’s with
lowest conduct marks. After 3 months of much prayer,
encouragement and the learning success lab, Mack is catching
sight of a reason to do well. His dream is to be a computer
programmer and he will continue in that direction. His skills
are improving. He said, ‘I can answer questions now. When
my teacher gives me 20 questions, not only can I answer them, but
I can answer them much quicker.’ His first progress report
for this year was all B’s & C’s and 1’s in conduct. ‘This is the
first time I’ve ever gotten a B in school,’ said Mack. The
future is getting brighter for Mack. His mom and dad have
sacrificed a lot this year to get this help for their son.
Thank God for progress!” (PG)
“We have
seen many good changes in our daughter. On her 19th
birthday, she was allowed for the first time to take a bus by
herself. She had a list of 9 instructions and she followed
every step exactly. Last year that would have been impossible;
she looked only once and only one way before going across the
street. Now she is following a list of NINE instructions. We
are very encouraged. This is the same girl who, at 14 years
old, took a shower with her socks on because the morning was
cold! Now she gets herself up when the alarm goes off, packs her
lunch, gets herself an easy breakfast, and gets herself dressed to
go on time!! What a blessing ELI has been to this family.
(Parents)
“We have
reached a milestone! He can pick out most of the books of the New
Testament and some of the Old Testament whenever I tell him to
look up a verse. Last week he read a Dr. Seuss book for the
first time. I guess it’s not great for a nine year old but
for me, it’s the biggest blessing of this year! (Sandy)
“Gabe’s
memory has really improved.
He remembers to follow through on instructions, knows the answers
in spelling games before anyone else, is a lot quicker in solving
math problems, and figures more complicated addition and
multiplication problems in his head.” (Parent)
Angie
continues to benefit from the program. Thank you for all your
hard work with ELI – so many lives are changed as a result! (BLMC) |
