Comments from Parents

"The INCITE TO WRITE program is a fun and creative method of teaching young students to feel successful and be successful at writing. I noticed significant improvements in the critical thinking and writing skills of my kids. I highly recommend this program."
Mimi Mangines

"Elizabeth is filled with ideas on what to write since taking your class. She asks lots of questions to give her writing details and she's using adjectives and descriptive details." Natalie Lowe

"When my 4th grade son, who is struggling with writing, came running out to the car after the first class and said he couldn't wait to go back, I knew I had found a special program."
Sandy Han

"Daniel's self-esteem has gone way up. He is not afraid of his writing assignments in school anymore, and he likes using his imagination."
Sonia Perez

"Janine loves going to your class. She tells me all about Beauty, your dog, and the popcorn you make during break. She's teaching her younger brother the writing games you play."
Mary Battista

"After three years, Eric still enjoys going to your class. He gets A's and B's in Language Arts, and he scored a 6 (the highest score) on his 4th grade FCAT Writes."
Cindy Cruz

"My 3rd grade son found writing difficult, and because he wasn't perfect at it, he'd give up before he even got started. The Incite to Write sessions changed him. He's had so much fun creating stories with his new friends and doing "Punch the Period" that now he's not afraid to pick up a pencil."
