Stay tuned to this page as we begin to gather quotes from teachers and parents who are using Wordy Qwerty with their kids.
Today in the computer lab I saw five first graders doing Wordy Qwerty. Yes, you heard right, first graders!!!!!
The teacher has a rule that after children go through the Read, Write & Type program three times they can start on Wordy Qwerty. The lab instructor does not help the kids one bit. The kids figure Wordy Qwerty out all by themselves.
I saw two kids jumping around their chairs, singing out loud to the song of a particular sound. They were really into it. They were very comfortable doing Wordy Qwerty...no problems. They didn't ask me any questions, they just kept going and going and going, having a ball.
I simply can't get over how exuberant, enthusiastic and totally into learning each of these five first graders were. It was spectacular. It was unbelievable. It was marvelous. These children are going to be successful in anything they do. Their brains have been wired to learn and think. And on a "having fun scale" of 1 to 10, the kids were a 10+!!!

"Wordy Qwerty quickly engaged the students and kept their attention. It was darling when they were spontaneously singing along with the program, not realizing that they were singing out loud. The program was appropriate for grade level language arts."

"The students immediately recognized that the program was made by the same people as the Read, Write and Type Learning System, a program they had used in first grade. The program needed little or no introduction, as all instructions were given to the students in the lessons. The student reaction to the program was, 'This is really fun!' They couldn't wait to get to the next activity."
