My teachers love TEKSas Target Practice. We have been using your product for the past 4 years and my teachers feel that this is one reason we have had exemplary math scores on the TAKS test.

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.

I was one of the first teachers to use Target Math at my previous school district, and it was amazing. I believe my students performed better on the state assessments because of this amazing product. I am sad that my current district does not have it because it is an amazing resource to have. It is worth every penny.

My class worked on vocabulary today! The artwork to teach the words will be unforgettable for the kids!

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.

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.

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!!! - From: Kristin WilliamsTo: Lone Star Learning
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.

Target Math enhances our classroom learning while spiraling back through what has previously been taught. I love the questions as they are often posed with higher level question stems. (TEKSas Target Practice, 4th grade, digital user)
