This eight-module online course on teaching developmental reading skills through hands-on learning and games was exceptional. Each module offered practical, research-based strategies to support readers at various stages of development. The use of interactive games and hands-on activities made the learning process both effective and enjoyable, providing teachers with tools to keep students engaged while strengthening key reading skills like phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. Mary Bennett was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, offering clear explanations, real classroom examples, and thoughtful feedback.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course! I love reading, but this course helped me see some things differently and how to use them in my class. I had to "think outside the box." I learned so many things--better understanding of Science of Reading, implementing new ideas into my classroom, helping my kiddos not only to read but understand what they read. Mrs. Mary Bennett was excellent at helping when needed, encouraging me, and wanting to bring out the best in me. Appreciate her! Thanks!

A refreshing one since it's been a while that I took an online course. I certainly enjoyed doing the lessons that widened my skills on the technical side. I am not good in constructing sentences, so hopefully my grades would not be affected that much. I am definitely recommend Fresno to my colleagues especially to those who need to complete/renew their ACSI certificate. I am hoping that I could get hold of the transcript in the earliest time possible so I can email ACSI and have my certificate before school starts this fall.

I feel like I have to be honest, and critical about the course material. While I did find value in the activities in this course, I was at first, quite appalled and turned off by the fact that the main course material was dated from 1994. The content in the book may be okay, but it really turned me off at first. I feel like the book should at least be updated, or another book with similar material should be used. Aside from that, it was a good course. The instructor was timely and helpful with any questions I had.

I did a lot of activities from the book but in the busy-ness of full-time teaching and life I did not always take the time to write the reflections. I do understand that this was a "do it when you can" class so overall it was great!

Make sure you understand this course is for primary reading strategies. You can adapt them to upper level, but with lots of work. It was a bit unorganized but overall helpful once you sort the details out. The instructor is readily available to assist and answer any questions.

While this course did have an ample amount of activities that can be adapted, the materials were outdated (suggested using transparencies.) No mention of using technology in the classroom. Most activities/games were not applicable to today's K-2 classroom. The instructions/syllabus was confusing and was not organized well.

The activities for the course were decent, and my students enjoyed playing the games. However, I found the format of the course to be very user-unfriendly. Upon first receiving the materials, it was difficult to figure out what exactly was expected for the assignments (as the actual syllabus was buried in the middle of a 50 page document). Another teacher who took a course from the same instructor feels the same way I do. I also felt that, while I learned some fun activities to do with students, I did not gain any real knowledge from the course. I prefer courses that combine theory and practice. I feel that this course was all practice without any of the theory.
