This study includes English Language Learners who used CEI®’s Essential Learning Systems™ program for one school year. The graphs reflect the number of CEI students and their gains in Reading Comprehension at the end of that year.
“One of my ESL students who could not read changed from a possible drop-out into a positive, self-confident individual.”
High School Teacher
Laredo, Texas
“It never ceases to amaze me the changes that transpire in many of the students who come through the lab. I have experienced students who spoke no English at all when first tested, and I’ve watched them progress to beyond an eleventh-grade reading level by the end of the school year.”
Middle School Facilitator
Bandera, Texas
“We had bilingual students who were not able to pass any courses in sixth and seventh grade enrolled in transition classes. They attended the CEI lab and passed all their classes in eighth grade, were regularly promoted to ninth grade, and did not require summer school. Also, discipline issues with our bilingual students nearly stopped.”
Middle School Assistant Principal
Orange County, Florida
“Our school houses 40 ESL students who collectively speak 12 languages. Needless to say, it would be difficult to find an ESL teacher who could communicate with all the students like ELS does.”
Elementary School Principal
Amarillo, Texas
“Before when I looked at words, I just saw letters. Now I see words individually and understand their meanings.”
