"The Reading Corner is exactly what our son Joseph needed. Karen makes learning to read and write fun!!! Our son has been in the program for a little over a month now and his progress is so amazing, it brought tears to my eyes."

"The Reading Corner has been such a positive experience for our daughter. She has really been encouraged in her love of books and grown a young love for reading. The skills and tools we have gained from her three mornings a week spill over into night reading times and daily conversations. Mrs. Green's obvious education and experience with the latest learning techniques in early literacy have impressed our family."

"I could rattle of at least one hundred things that I LOVE about The Reading Corner but what resonates with me the most is how in tune Karen is with my children and how every activity is chosen just for each of them. My children BEG to do "Miss Karen homework" and we play her "games" at home more than we play Candyland-their excitement for her class just keeps growing! I recently have been struggling with my 4 year old practicing his handwriting. When I brought it up to Karen she immediately thought of a few really fun and engaging tricks to get him practicing without realizing it. His handwriting has already improved and he is having a great time doing it (and I never would have come up with those techniques on my own). She is so motivating and rewards them for every effort! The atmosphere and her teaching style is warm, exciting and a blast for the kids."

"Finally I found a program that fostered my child's love of reading and developed his confidence and skill level. The interactive program captured his attention and gave him the opportunity to succeed at a level that may not have been possible."

"Ms. Karen is just what my son Ryan (6 years old) needed. I have been homeschooling him and have not been able to get him interested in reading. One class with Karen and he was confident and enthusiastic about reading! She's wonderful!"

"My nine year old son, who is autistic, was unable to read or even identify his letters. A friend of mine told me about a teacher named Miss Karen who would change our lives forever. In less than four months, Jared knew his letters and sounds and was reading simple books. Last year he won an award for "Best Reader". Not only did Miss Karen teach Jared to read, she has given him self-confidence and a chance to become independent."

"Karen Green came to our school in the fall of 2008 to train kindergarden and first grade teachers in best practices for teaching reading. Her knowledge of early literacy and her professionalism stood out to our teachers. Karen was also very approachable, and the teachers gained great insights into improving their teaching methods by asking her questions and watching her model lessons. Seeing Karen in the classroom raised the bar for teachers at our private school in Charlotte."

"My son David attended The Reading Corner summer camp last year. Before he started the camp, he was a reluctant learner. He barely knew his letters and got frustrated every time I tried to teach him and read with him. Karen's style of teaching is not only effective, but fun and engaging. After the summer camp, David was excited about learning, not only because he learned so much, but because he finally had the confidence to view himself as a learner. David actually tells other kids about the reading camp and how he can't wait to attend again this year!"

"I have worked with Karen for two years and have seen first hand how she connects with young readers and writers. She instructs children in a way that is appropriate to the development of young children by planning creative activities that catch the attention of beginning readers and writers. Karen sets high exceptions for the children she works with, which is a key to her success. Karen builds a rapport with the children where risk taking is allowed and their best is celebrated. Any child that has the opportunity too interacts with Karen is going to have a solid reading foundation because they are learning from a strong reading and writing teacher!"

"WOW! OUTSTANDING! I have been teaching for 13 years and it amazes me how Karen brings reading and writing to life. Her expertise really shows whether she is reading a new book or teaching a writing skill... Karen is the one who knows how to reach a child's creativity and bring their love of learning to the forefront. Through reading strategies and writing crafts - I am in awe as to what Karen can do with my kindergarten students. I can only imagine what she can do with your child too! I highly, without question, recommend Karen and The Reading Corner for your child! I can't wait for my child to be able to go to The Reading Corner! Enjoy!!!"

"I have known Karen both professionally and personally for many years. Karen is the ultimate "teacher mom", constantly using her knowledge of how children learn best, to teach her own kids. Whether it is posting sight words on objects, asking higher level questions, or running well organized learning centers in her house! Karen works hard, and it is apparent in her children's successes and happiness."

"I know Karen both personally and professionally and have seen her passion for early literacy in both areas of her life. She brings the same fire and enthusiasm to all her students that she does her own children."
