Resource Teacher, Community Roots Charter School, Laguna Niguel, CA
“I have been a reading specialist and have implemented Reading Recovery for over 30 years, and I have never experienced this kind of student growth or student engagement. When my students see me in the hall, they call out with excitement, “CAPIT, CAPIT!” and proudly tell me what lesson they are on.”
Dr. Kingsby, Principal, Los Angeles, CA
“The CAPIT Reading Grant was a game changer for our school. We had no idea how much our students could accomplish in such a short time. The CAPIT Grant has given them the reading skills they need to succeed in elementary school and beyond.”
