What the parents say
The BoosterBooks programme was an extremely valuable learning experience for our son, we just wish he could have had it sooner! It certainly built up his confidence and self-esteem as well as improving reading and spelling skills significantly. It was fantastic to hear him reading the finished story publicly with such confidence and enthusiasm. I think that the fun approach and the concentrated daily input were excellent.
I really believe, as a parent of a child with specific learning difficulties and as a teacher of many years' experience, that this approach to learning could greatly benefit many children.

Joshua’s involvement in BoosterBooks had a significant impact on his confidence. He enjoyed the activities, especially the creation of the word search. This way of learning spelling is far more exciting and an easier environment to help children who lack confidence in their own ability.

He is very proud of his books and keeps them in a safe place to show others. Joshua’s progress over the five weeks was amazing; I just wish that he could have this time given to him each term. His final report and discussion at parents' evening was extremely positive, in terms of his maturity and his concentration and willingness to learn. I am sure that some of this stemmed from the boost that was given to him early in the school year.

The biggest impact BoosterBooks had regarding my sons learning needs were that for the first time in ages he came home enthused and excited about doing his homework. Talking about this with him-I think the reason was the fact that he was able to take an active responsibility in his learning.
Creating stories really empowered him and his confidence took a real "boosting". This confidence has remained with him and his motivation to learn now means he enjoys going to school . I would be happy to recommend the BoosterBooks programmes to any parent who like myself struggled to even get a pencil in their child’s hands.

Simon has done really well at school this year. Being on the BoosterBooks programme last year really boosted his confidence and made him realise that he can ‘have a go’ at anything that is asked of him. His spellings, composition and concentration have improved and he now willingly picks up a book to read just for fun!
