To Whom It May Concern
It is our pleasure to write a letter of recommendation for
Rocky Point Academy. Our son has struggled with reading and writing since
kindergarten. Over the years, as teachers, we tried many learning
strategies, drills and tutoring with him. He made some improvement but was
always below his grade level. Homework and reading were difficult tasks
for him to complete. With assistance, he only scored about 50% on his
Provincial Achievement Tests for Grade 6. At that time he was still
getting words like "and" & "the" mixed up.
Last summer, we had the opportunity to hear Ron Davis
speak and then made an appointment with Larry Smith to spend a week with our son
to have him work through the Davis Method. This was the first program to
significantly help our son with his reading. It has helped him with the
root causes of his reading and not just with the symptoms.
He has always been a creative and artistic child and has
enjoyed working using clay to work through the 'trigger words.' Rocky
Point gave us several resources to share with his teachers at school and they
have been receptive and encouraging. The "koosh balls" have helped him
learn to be 'on point' and focussed and the writing plans have helped him in his
writing. We felt that the one-on-one tutoring that Larry provided was
exactly what our son needed and that his individual learning problems were
addressed in a very positive manner. Everyone at Rocky Point Academy was
very kind and understanding and our son really enjoyed his time there.
We have continued the exercises that
Larry provided and we have seen our son continue to improve in his reading and
writing, both at home and at school. We also appreciate the extra help
they have provided since his initial assessment and that we are able to contact
them for further assistance whenever needed. For us, the cost of the
program and the services that they provide are well worth it and have given us a
sense of hope and direction for our child's education and future.
What Rocky Point Academy did for our dyslexic son is
amazing and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who is
struggling with reading and writing.
Sincerely,
Collin and Tusha
