For Alease Widseth, a kindergarten teacher at Lockwood Primary School (MT), her first year of teaching has been transformed by the power of CAPIT Reading. As a new educator, she discovered that the program's unique approach to matching sounds with letter shapes was exactly what her young learners needed to thrive.

"What makes CAPIT so different, and in my opinion very powerful, is that it works exclusively with matching a sound to the shape of a letter," Alease explains. "This is so impactful because learning letter sounds allows students to begin blending words and start reading – it's simply amazing!"
