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 so impressed with the Target Reading program I purchased for my 4th grade class. We are going into the 4th week of school and this is my first year utilizing it, but I can already see a change in my students writing. I am teaching at a tier 4, title 1 school. About 30% of my students passed STAAR last year and I knew they would need some extra practice if they were going to have any hope of improving this year. This program has interesting stories every week that are fun for the students to read. They never get bored with the materials provided. I love the sentence building exercise that they do every day because not only are they learning how to build good, descriptive sentences but they are learning what nouns, verbs, and adjectives are. And this is something they practice EVERY day. The questions of the day are higher level thinking and require the students to refer back to the story for details. I can’t say enough good things about this program. Money well spent and I will be using it for years to come. Thank you for creating this wonderful program! It is something I think every district in Texas should be using.

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.

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!

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.
We have had several schools across Texas (one coming as far as 5 hours away) to look at our math program and why we have such high scores on STAAR. We are definitely pushing your product because we believe in it and feel that it is why we do so well on testing each year! We couldn’t do without it!

We are very excited about using Target Math (TEKSas Target Practice)! I’ve seen first hand the improvements it has made in student scores! Thank you!
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!!!
Target Vocabulary Set 1 – I will recommend this to every teacher I know! This was by far my favorite product I evaluated this year! Both my students and I loved this!!
