Phonics Things is a prime illustration of the way that phonics and reading can and should be taught—by informed teachers [and parents], using their wisdom and creativity to make something that has traditionally been taught in the most mundane ways (drill, repetition, worksheets, and rote memorization) into a learning activity that students will find incredibly engaging and satisfying-in both scientific and artistic terms. Brian is an extraordinary teacher who has shown us how school, teaching, and learning can be for students and teachers. Bravo!

The results of Brian’s approach and training are outstanding. 90% of my students improved their reading and writing skills. They developed a sense of responsibility for their own learning and become more critical of themselves as dynamic achievers. They enjoy reading and writing and are more engaged as learners. It is really amazing to witness the changes that occurred in such a short period of time.

I can single handedly count the number of educators who have impacted my teaching in such a profound way and Brian Kissman is one of those few people. As a teacher of twenty-two years, I can say I have learned more from Brian in the short time I have worked with him than from all the professional development I have had over the years. I am more confident using the Readers' and Writers' Workshop models, I am better at assessing my students individual needs and planning small lessons to meet those needs, and I am a better teacher because of Brian Kissman.
