Results that Matter

  • “Since implementing Zinc, our 8th-grade scores on the Colorado Achievement Test have skyrocketed, and my test results are consistently among the highest in the district.”

    —Nick Brummer, 8th-grade ELA Lead Teacher, Eagle Valley Middle School, CO

  • “Zinc solved the problems of student fear of big words and boredom with reading. Vocab engages students, and the close reading teaches them how to understand tough reads.”

    —Whitney Ann Lewis, SAT/ACT prep, Horry County, SC

    See How Zinc Helps Teachers

  • “In August, 86% of my 9th-grade students were below grade level (60% were below 4th-grade level). By November, 53% were up at least one grade level and 30% were up by at least TWO grade levels!”

    —Priscilla Barrera, English 1 Lead Teacher, IDEA San Juan College Prep, TX

  • “A lot of my students said that this was the first time someone’s teaching them HOW to read, instead of just telling them to read.”

    —Michaela Morris, 10th grade English Teacher, Fresno, CA

  • “Our reading scores have been going down. Kids just don’t seem to have the stamina to keep reading. We really liked how Zinc Ignition builds that ability to focus through engaging them in close reading.”

    —Shannon Schumacher, Instructional Coach, Campbell County, KY
