Thanks for your excellent curriculum, patience and skills.  Ways That Work is an easy to follow program that made an immediate impact on my 1st grader's skills.  My son has gained tremendous confidence when it comes to math and now says it's his favorite subject.  You have taught him a solid math foundation to carry him through life.  We have really valued your course and appreciate all you have done for our son  You're the best!!!

I just wanted to give you a little update on Jayna and thank you again for all your work with her.  Last year she ended the 1st grade never completing even one timed test for her addition facts.  In fact, most of the time, she was not even close to finishing 1/3 of the test.  This year, she has passed all her tests on the first try!  She has completed all of her addition tests and is now starting on her subtraction facts since they do them separately.  Her school has adopted a new math curriculum that uses a similar process for visualizing math facts where one part of a math fact family is left out and you have to fill in the blanks.  Jayna does this automatically since she has learned the addition/subtraction facts together.  Thank you again for helping Jayna last spring and summer.  It is really making a difference for her and it is a joy to see her go from being so behind to leading the class in her math facts proficiency.  She feels so smart and capable!

We'd like to sincerely thank you for helping our 7 year old daughter develop a solid math foundation.

We began our journey with first grade math facts in elementary school. Our daughter hit a brick wall at 'subtraction to 15.' We were spending up to 2 hours on flash cards at home and she could not pass her 50-question test in 5 minutes. Needless to say, our daughter's morale was down and she'd say that she was 'just not good at math.' As parents, we knew that the rate limiting step was our teaching methodology and not our daughter's capacity to learn. And this is when we found you. In exactly 6 months you have helped our daughter achieve the following:

1. Master addition/subtraction facts to 20. She can do 50-problem tests in 1 & 1/2 minutes.
2. Learn multiplication facts to 12. She can complete 50-problem tests in 2 & 1/2 - 3 minutes.

What is unique about your teaching style is that you integrate tactile, auditory, visual and written materials concurrently. And you present the materials with age-appropriate concepts which are actually fun.

Our daughter now LOVES math. If you ask her what her best talent is, she'll reply matter of factly that it is 'math.' She recently stated that she has "tons of little sticky notes in her brain with numbers and math facts." It's amazing how far we've come in just 6 months and it is 100% attributable to you.

Even when I don't have the (TURN the Tables) cards, the answers are pictured in my mind.

I think the little book (TURN the Tables) with Matt is really cool!

This clicks with my mind. That's an awesome system (TURN the Tables).

I am so excited to find a tool that not only teaches math facts, but makes it fun to learn! TURN the Tables will continue to be a regular part of my daughter's learning program.

TURN the Tables is terrific! My students quickly learned the multiplication facts using this multisensory product. They were so proud to be doing multi-digit multiplication upon their first encounter with the times tables. I am impressed by how easily they visualized the answers and completed their work independently. La Deaux has written the manual in such easy-to-understand, simple-to-follow directions that anybody can quickly learn how to teach it without taking a lengthy, costly workshop to learn the technique.

Because TURN the Tables is a whole brain experience, integration of the multiplication facts is painless. Strengthened by some kinesthetic movement, learners activate auditory skills, visual skills, memory, and association while the facts become enduringly imprinted. Thoughtful reinforecements included with the kit are worksheets tailored for each multiplication fact. Matt Matics greets them with his helpful hints on every page.

With no previous exposure to the multiplication tables, my son learned the concept of multi-digit multiplication in under 2 weeks using TURN the Tables.

I just wanted to send you a note to thank you for developing TURN the Tables and tell you how excited I am to be using your materials. I am working with a 4th grade boy who has been struggling to master the times tables. Two minutes after I started working with him using your materials he looked up at me and smiled and said in an excited tone, "I can do this!" I am so thrilled to have found this. So thank you, thank you, for developing this material! The multisensory approach is such a plus!!

Our first clinic student to try Turn the Tables was SO excited to be multiplying with the "big numbers" in the one's worksheets. He felt really great about it and didn't want math time to stop. (He always wants math time to stop!) Great job!

TURN the Tables activates the whole brain for learning and retaining multiplication facts. By using visual memory, spatial orientation, language association, auditory memory stimulation and rehearsal exercises, this program anchors the multiplication facts for automatic access! Melvin-Smith Learning Center uses TURN the Tables to establish long term recall of multiplication facts and improve math performance.
