Feedback from teachers about REAP
Teachers give overwhelmingly positive feedback in post-training surveys about REAP Structured Literacy training. They tell us how they plan to use the information, how it changed their instruction, and what results they’re seeing in their classrooms.
We know we’re making a difference when hundreds of teachers tell us in their own words how much REAP training has helped them and their students.
