"I use Study Dog in my classroom and have seen dramatic results with it! I assess my children on a monthly basis. With the results I identified students who were in need of intensive intervention and started them on Study Dog. I retested the children yesterday and I was amazed at how their scores have improved since last month!

I have been working with my Title I teacher and she is also sold on the program! We feel it is an excellent intervention strategy to use at our school!

Thanks for this GREAT tool!!!

Christie Paxton, 1st grade teacher, Colonel William Casey Elementary

“We LOVE StudyDog!  We use StudyDog for our special education students and they can't wait until they get their "Study Dog time!"
I am so excited to finally find something that our students can use independently and get something out of!”

Jennifer Schimpf, Special Ed Teacher

“StudyDog is a great product!

With StudyDog real teaching and learning occurs. Communication from the characters is in a language that kids understand and react to in a very positive way. StudyDog is a valuable tool for me. My students can become independent learners thanks to StudyDog.”
