I have so many great stories that my cup runneth over! This year, however, my WOW story would have to be about A.

I have been working with A for two years. He had great difficulty with reading fluency and reading comprehension. His score for reading fluency was at the 25th percentile. His reading comprehension score placed him in the 20th percentile. He currently is at the 60th percentile on both measures! Most importantly, he is much more confident in class and is reading/speaking in class. His general education teacher is amazed at A’s progress. At this point, I will be working with him on math story problems as this is still a difficult area for him, but he is improving.

I am so very happy the Lord chose me to work in his ministry.
