To whom it may concern

When Sadie started in Grade 2 this year I immediately noticed that she was struggling in all academic areas. Her handwriting was large and she was unable to write in the books with smaller lines. Sadie also struggled with constructing sentences. They were usually grammatically incorrect and had spelling errors. She also found it very challenging to grasp new concepts in Mathematics and was often unable to do the exercises correctly in class. Sadie’s assessment marks were low and even with one on one intervention she would still battle to complete the task at hand.

I had received a small promotional goodie bag from Edublox and recommended to Mr and Mrs Howell that they could send Sadie to Edublox for extra support. Sadie started at Edublox and I saw a huge improvement throughout Term 2. Her handwriting had improved drastically, it was smaller and neater. Sadie was able to confidently construct sentences with spelling words and her spelling test results were excellent. Her reading has also improved and she reads at a faster pace and has developed a positive attitude towards reading. Sadie has also gained coping skills from Edublox that have enabled her to find different ways of grasping Mathematical concepts and she confidently completes her tasks. She also asks for help when she finds an activity challenging. Overall I have seen Sadie make tremendous improvement, which I am so proud of, as she has also put in the effort and loves succeeding in her academics. I hope she continues to grow and reach her full potential.

Update, 28 October 2016:

Sadie’s mother emailed her Term 1 and Term 3 reports (see below). Sadie scored 4/7 for English in Term 1 and 6/7 in Term 3. Maths has improved as well, from 4/7 to 6/7.  Well done, Sadie!
