Testimonials

"It takes a few weeks to pick up the concepts with the shapes...without them it would take years"
    - Diane Mckinley, adult student, Maine

"With only one hour of learning about the MVL tools, two months later, my 5-year-old daughter, Allyson, remembers every bit of what she learned: the colors and shapes and in the right order. Amazing how she shared with her friends about MVL!"
  -   Kelly Sicard, Parent, Frederick, Maryland

"I can't imagine anyone can come up a better idea than MVL!"
  -   Nancy Walla, Elementary Teacher, Boston, Massachusetts

"My son had a great first session with MVL, last night he showed me proudly what he had learned."
  -   Terri Thompson, Parent, Tucson, Arizona

"I wish I learned MVL in elementary school."
  -   Clayton Marr III, aged 11, Portland, Maine

"The ultimate tool to learn English is MVL."
  -   Seth Gore, age 11, Portland, Maine

"I have been an educator in the field of deafness for 20 years. I have taught almost all grade levels, tutored adults and have spent the last 7 years working at a university preparing students to become educators of the Deaf. MVL is unequivocally the best tool I have ever seen to teach Deaf children how to internalize the structure of English and become autonomous writers."
"Mr. Gore has put a great amount of thought into the creation of this concept. Further, he enlisted the perspective of deaf students themselves in order to create a tool that is truly aligned with the child's thoughts. I have talked with students who have used it and they love it. The one comment I saw often was that they wished they had this when they were young. I give this product my highest recommendation!!"
