| "Voyager Passport is our core reading intervention program. It is a great resource for providing our children with the support they need to catch up to grade level. Our teachers truly believe in Voyager and the research behind it. They are studying the program in their study groups and are open to the implementation of the program. I can honestly say that Voyager has won their hearts." |

| "I think it made a tremendous difference. [Voyager] captures more of the student's ability to comprehend and recognize vocabulary and those are the two major keys to the third-grade reading test." |

|
|
|
| "Without Voyager in place, [students] don't grow as much." |

| "A lot of these students couldn't decode, that's why most of them were in Voyager Passport. They can decode now. No matter what strategy I teach them in reading, when they get to third grade, if they can't read it, they're not going to be able to apply the strategy. That's what it did for kids. It actually gave them the ability to decode and to read. Voyager Passport did it in a way that wasn't boring, and the teachers made it fun." |

| "We've learned that students need multiple opportunities to interact with vocabulary in order to gain mastery. Semantic Impressions combined with the Voyager Passport Intervention Program has strengthened our students' ability to expand their vocabularies in reading, writing, and speaking." |

| "We are constantly inspecting what we are expecting. All Voyager providers meet 5 days a week for 45 minutes to share, discuss, and plan strategies to ensure that data-driven instruction is taking place. During the first few weeks of school, our Intervention Team begins to assess their children by using the Voyager Benchmarks, which is a useful tool for assessing all of our children." |

| "Carin Guarsci, our Voyager support person has been extremely pivotal to the success of our program. She has come to provide us with professional development services. Carin also assists us with the implementation of the program, data analysis, and one-on-one training on inputting and analyzing our data. We consider her part of our school and it has been great working with her because she shares our passion with learning. In our building, we are trying to focus on instruction to improve learning and Carin is right there with us every step of the way." |
