"Thank you Dr. Small for creating a fun and exciting literacy learning program for [our daughter]. She looked forward to these classes and that is tribute to your ability to 'read' my child and understand her needs and interests. Prior to these classes she avoided reading on her own. You gave her the skills, confidence and encouragement in perfect doses. You are a true professional who pays attention to detail and takes pride in your craft, developing the individual to reach his or her potential. We cannot thank you enough."
