I love my job.

I love the variety of interesting leveled readers we provide at Reading A-Z and what students learn from them.

I love that our products are effective in helping students while giving teachers the tools they need to successfully teach and assess student learning.

And I love hearing from people who use our products.

The other day, we received an email (with photos) from a teacher at an orphanage in Haiti.  The students were each given copies of Reading A-Z's book All Kinds of Faces. The teacher wrote,

"When [my students] got to the "sad" page, there was a photo of a girl with tears on her face. Amongst them, the kids decided that she must be sad because someone had hit her. They got to the "excited" page, and the class decided that the boy must be excited because he was getting to play with water. And when they read the "angry" page, they were sure that the boy was angry because he had been bad and had been scolded. The kids thoroughly enjoyed their lesson because they could relate to it and they could also make it a bit humorous."

Given the tragic situation in Haiti, I also love that All Kinds of Faces made these children laugh.
