Rhymes have taught Gavin (autistic) to
sight-read books and he has transferred words to other
text. Wonderful program! David Higbee
My
son Spencer is a 6-yr old autistic child that has a very
limited vocabulary. We were blessed after purchasing the
Poetry Pals series; our son memorized each book and now
actually "reads". We had never heard his voice
for more than three words in a row and now he recites the
entire series to us. Thanks! What a great tool you have
given us to learn more about our wonderful son! Joe
Lundgren
A great asset to my classroom! The
children enjoy naming the characters in the books. Lupe
Salinas
The children like the poem stories and
illustrations. They want me to read the books over and
over. M. Salinas
The
stories are age appropriate and the books are very
durable. The kids really enjoy them. F. Gonzales
Not only are the size of the books
perfect for my students' little hands, but the text is
simple, the books are sturdy and the illustrations are
lovely. Gloria Garza
After watching the video, the children
were able to make the books come alive. Acting out the
voices when we read the books. We love them and I feel I
made a very wise investment. Heritage House School
The Poetry Pals Learning Center brings
focus to our classrooms. The Pre-K teachers of FWISD have
enjoyed the added attraction of the tree in their
library/book center. The stories are terrific vocabulary
builders for the students. Candy Channell, Fort Worth ISD
I just bought my third
Poetry Pals Reading Centerfor each of my
grandchildren. There is nothing more important than our
children learning to read. Congratulations on a great
product that creates interest in young children to learn
which in turn develops great self-esteem. Davie Jones
Poetry Pals is terrific. My sons are 2
and 4 years of age and love the entire system. The first
night, my 2 year old slept with all 14 books in bed. Great
testimony - Thanks alot! Ross Frick
I just wanted to let you know how much
my children have enjoyed their Poetry Pals books. From the
moment we put the tree on the wall they have not stopped
looking at the books. They also enjoy being able to take
them out and put them back in on their own. This has
honestly been one of the best things that we have
purchased for our children. We have 2-year old twins and a
5 year old. They enjoy the books because they are small
enough for their hands and the colors and pictures keep
their attention. Thanks again for a great learning system.

My
6-year old son has autism and we have had good success
with integrating your books into his daily routine. It's
making a big difference. My 8-yr old also loves to help
her little brother with this task! Holly Venhaus
It is so exciting working with my son
with your materials. I am a former Reading Recovery
teacher and this learning system is great! Jennifer Thomas
My husband and I bought the Poetry Pals
program for our 22 mo. Old son and it is already proving
to be one of the best investments for his future. Thank
you for providing such a wonderful product for our
children. Stephanie Walton
We
just purchased your Poetry Pals learning system for our 3
yr old son and we have to tell you the great news! He has
been speech delayed and had never spoken over 3 words at a
time and has been in speech therapy for over 6 months.
Since he has been playing with your learning system, we
were awestruck when he came to us with one of your books
and not only did he speak more than 3 words, but he opened
the page and recited the entire first sentenceꠠ "There was a little turtle swimming in the sea and up
came an octopus and grabbed him by the knee." My
husband and I looked at each other with amazement and
couldn't wait to tell his speech therapist of this
wonderful news. We have since showed her your wonderful
learning system and we thank you so much for this great
tool that is assisting our son to not only learn to speak,
but is giving him confidence in his reading abilities.
This is absolutely the best! Rebecca and Sim Orr
As a parent I could not ask for a better
learning tool. I cannot wait for the next set of books and
video to come out, so I can continue to watch them learn
to read and watch with amazement. Thanks for creating such
a unique and effective learning tool. Linda Caldwell
My
daughter Cassidy loves her Poetry Pals. I have seen an
improvement in her vocabulary and she knows what rhyming
words are now. Cassidy will watch the video and
"read" along with each story and she feels very
successful. As a teacher I know it is giving her the
building blocks to be a successful reader when she does go
to school next year. Michele Fulfor
Darby loves guessing what book will be
read next. She now is keeping up with the video, running
her finger along the words. I hope you will be coming out
with additional books and videos. Mary Angle
Alyxzandria really likes being able to
put the video in and read along in her books without
parental help. It builds her confidence and makes her feel
big. R. Mackinaw
It's an exciting experience for us to
watch our son enjoying and learning with such a wonderful
program. Thank you for Poetry Pals. A. Bacigalupo
Megan
loves taking the books in and out of the tree on the wall.
She also loves the coloring book and has colored almost
every page. I like how the product grows with the child.
The stories are great. We enjoy reading them very much.
The stories are just the right length and keep my
daughter's interest from start to finish. Deborah Garth My
son has really enjoyed this learning system. He spends 20
minutes a night looking at his books before bed. These
give us a nice selection of bedtime stories without boring
my son with the same book. Fred Schramm
We have created a "learning
center" in our playroom with the tree as its focus.
Every day she asks to watch her "book video".
She thinks she is such a big girl because she can follow
along with the reading. My husband and I are thrilled with
the ideas you offer on the back of the books too. It gives
us an opportunity to spend quality time with herᬫing
and teaching. Mark and Shannon Thornton
Our son loves Poetry Pals! He sits in my
lap and reads to me - even the more difficult words and
he's not even 3 years old yet! He is so proud of himself
when he puts the puzzle together and he loves the video
& coloring book. Morgan Foster
We think Poetry Pals is wonderful! My
son is only 9 months old and he loves for me to play the
video and turn the pages on the book with him. Bryan gets
so excited about reading with this system and thank you
very much for allowing us to be a part of your family
through reading. C. Roberts
Lindsay
really loves it. Her dad is absolutely awestruck at how it
keeps her attention and how well she can follow the books.
Jennifer Stembridge
The interaction with the kids is great!
There is a strong motivation to read. Diane Bonham
Brenden is only 5 months old - he loves
them all. All of the books hold his attention. He gets so
excited when its time to read. The Sexton Family
Coleman, 4 years old, loves to remove
all the books from the tree and sits in the living room
and reads them to me. After he reads a page he holds the
book up to show me the pictures. My entire family loves
Poetry Pals. Angela Mitchell
Garrett in only 2, and he is very
interested in books and reading - he loves to take the
books out of the tree and put them back - he always
repeats the last word of each sentence of the book we are
reading. Mike Gallagher Our children love the books &
the video & especially the puzzle. My 20 month old
loves the finger holes in the back and works the puzzle
daily. Tracey Coontz
Our
children love their Poetry Pals learning center so much,
it makes them feel like they can read. It has helped their
listening skills. They also take very good care of their
books. Lloyd Eubanks
We were very impressed by how quickly
she picked up how it works and how excited she gets when
she turns to the right page. Darla Jackson
My 2 year old is always wanting to read
now. That is so wonderful. My 8 month old will just sit
and listen as I read to them. It's wonderful. Randolph
Family
The kids love to follow along in their
books as they watch the video - even my 22 month old goes
& seeks the correct book. It's Great! The Riley Family
Our 18-month old, Mackenzie can now
return the books to the proper space on the tree. I
believe she enjoys the video so much because of the
children's voices reading the books. Sammie McBeath
Chandler is very excited and watches the
movie with books over and over. He is excited about
sharing with his older brother and friends. M. Marone
Both my children love these books; even
my 1 yr. old-she loves to turn the pages. My 3 yr. old
will sit and watch the video and read the books over and
over. She is so excited to "read". Patti Jensen
The
children love the books so much and it builds their
confidence for reading. It has also helped their listening
skills a lot and they take very good care of their books.
E. Bransom
Our son really loves his books and feels
so "BIG" to be following along with the video.
He is learning in leaps and bounds. Dawn Adcock
Saeya loves her book tree and her mother
loves the fact that the books are virtually
indestructible! We also like the lessons on the back of
the books. Saeya has no problem finding where the books
go, due to the decal stickers and puzzle shapes. Haylee
Esparza
My children love the stories; they're
cute and thoughtful. Also, I like how the books fly back
to the tree when you are finished reading, teaching my
children to be responsible and put their things up. B.
Hamilton
Our children love how the video shows
them which books to get and how to read them and they are
now in control of their own reading experience. Cindy
Brown
