Were your ears burning? Last week, a team of visiting teachers paraded through my classroom after school during a school tour and they looked all around my room at the Vocabulary posters all over my walls. They remarked about how colorful and helpful these posters were and asked me where I got them. I told them all about you. Keep up the good work! I use these posters every day in my teaching and more importantly my students use them every day in their learning.

Word of the Day – I just wanted to let you know we have gone through 124 of these words, so I decided to give them a test over all of those words, just out of curiosity. I have all 100s in my 1st period! This is amazing, because this word list has never gone home! The students are just reviewing it daily and weekly in class. You have made such a difference for my students and me! I cannot tell you how much you have improved my classes for my students and for me. Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!

I teach 3rd grade Science at Dublin Elementary but I help out our Math teachers by doing the TEKSas Target Practice. My kids love to come to class and get busy working on it. It is challenging and fun! Thank you for the wonderful product.

“I am buying these cards (Get the Picture! Math Vocabulary) for my teacher friend for teacher appreciation week! She loves mine that I put around my room.”
My name is Sharon Shafer. I am a fifth grade teacher at Hempstead Elementary. I was first introduced to Lone Star Learning last year at the CAMT conference in San Antonio. At first, I was reluctant to use their products because I was a fan of a different program. A third grade teacher from my school finally talked me into trying the program. Thank you Lone Star Learning! This year my students went from barely passing TAKS to 95% passing with 41% Commended Performance! My 5th graders love using your TEKSas Target Practice program and it is very easy to implement. Thanks again!

Lone Star Learning products are AMAZING. They helped improve STAAR scores so much at my last district that I’m bringing it with me to my new district. I am a true believer in Lone Star Learning products.
TEKS Target Practice has been a game changer for our math scores. We have had the paper version for the past 3 years. This year we purchased the electronic version and it has been even easier to implement. We have implemented TEKS Target Board as morning work. Students automatically know their expectations when they walk in the classroom. When we introduce a new topic our students already have a baseline of information because they have seen something like it on the Target board. We have used the TEKS Target Board in 3rd faithfully and our scores have improved drastically.
2013-2014 (no TEKS Target Board) 69%
2014-2015 (Math Scores did not count)
2015-2016 (1st year of TEKS Target Board) 70%
2016-2017 (2nd year of TEKS Target Board) 88%
2017-2018 (3rd year of TEKS Target Board) 89%
We LOVE TEKS Target Board!!!
We want to thank you for developing the perfect Science vocabulary flash cards to help support our English as a Second Language (ESL) students. We initially ordered them with just our ESL students in mind, but as it turns out they have been helping many of our students who struggle with some of the more difficult science terms. If you are debating about purchasing these cards, you won’t be disappointed. You can tell a lot of thought went into choosing the right photos to help students understand and remember what many of the key science terms mean.

I have been using some form of Lone Star Learning for the past 10 years, and cannot imagine teaching without it! Currently using TEKSas Target Practice, and just ordered Target Reading. Thank you!
It is always exciting to review best practices for all students and encourage our special educators that TEKS based instruction can be accessible to students with disabilities. We appreciate the structure, visual representation, and strategies embedded in your product design. Thanks for your generosity and support!
