“Precision Academics is an excellent program. It just plain works. I work with over 30 children at my school using this program. When I walk into the classroom carrying your Workbooks, without exception, every child is looking up at me with pleading eyes, saying, “Is it my turn yet? Can I PLEASE come with you and do the Workbooks?” Your programs work their way around and around, helping the children to master the basics. They are SO happy to be able to do it. It works and they love it. I am a true fan.” Ian… Teacher’s Aide, Primary School
“I love doing this stuff...its fun. I wish I could do it all the time. There’s not too much stuff on each page…. I understand what I have to do... My friends love doing it with me...Thanks.” Scott….Student, Junior High School
“I couldn’t imagine doing my job without Precision Academics. “ Jean…..Teacher’s Aide, High School
“I recommend Precision Academics to all of the schools I visit. It is used in many of our schools, with individuals and small groups, and sometimes whole class groups work on selected resources because they are beneficial for all students, not just a few. The resources are easy to use, really attractive to students, and help our teachers and teacher’s aides work collaboratively to provide the best possible program for our students.
It is wonderful to have a resource library able to provide something for such a wide range of special learning needs for students of all ages.” Pauline Julius…Learning Support Co-ordinator, Diocese of Lismore.
“We have a student whose IQ is in the low 40’s. Our teachers used to have to write every piece of work individually for her. Now, she has hundreds of Workbooks to use, that will see her through for years to come. And now we use Precision Academics for at least 20 other students. The reaction from our Gifted and Talented students and their parents has been overwhelming.” Kathy…..Teacher’s Aide, Primary School
