I have been teaching for 30 years in the Waupun School District. A first grade boy in my classroom entered the school year not knowing his letters. He lacked self-confidence and cried for the first few weeks of school. Using the Literacy Link program (a structured literacy program), this first-grader was reading at grade level by the end of the school year. He gained so much confidence that he was able to go into his previous kindergarten teacher's classroom and read to her students.
