Customer Voices
Most of [our preschool] students were coming from homes where there were no books in the home... With the Waterford Early Reading Program, all of those [pre-literacy skills] were incorporated so they were actually getting a head start for kindergarten. —Jenny Moon, Technology Resource Teacher, Gadsden, Alabama [The preschoolers] by the end of the first week know exactly how it operates... But the main thing is that they love it. They absolutely love it. —Shannon Skipper, Pre-K Teacher Gadsden, Alabama
