What's being said by Even Start programs across America about the Bowdoin Method:

"Just to see the way the moms respond and become engaged with the activities in the Bowdoin Method curriculum makes the program more than worthwhile. Thanks!"

"The Bowdoin Method addresses the needs of our parents and fits in with our PAT program beautifully. The fact that the Bowdoin Method is bilingual has been invaluable to us! Our parents really enjoy the materials, especially playing the Child-O games."

"Parents love this program because they find it very close to their family life. In one of your books you show them how to use things around the house to teach their children. In another one, you teach them how good words and good feelings can make such a big difference... Thank you!"

More about The Bowdoin Method…

The Bowdoin Method empowers families with the basic skills and confidence to meet the social, emotional and academic needs of their children for school success! Children who enter school with language skills and pre-reading skills are more likely to read well and succeed in later years.

The Nationally Validated Bowdoin Method was researched and developed for 8 years with over 1,200 low literacy families. The results were an amazing 36% increase in school readiness scores. The unique, multi-cultural videos/DVDs and “easy to read” parent books motivate and inspire the parents to be the first and best teachers of their children.

"A lot of times going off in a rage makes my child rebel instead of listening to what I have to say. With the Bowdoin Method I've learned to sit down and talk to my child when something goes wrong."
A Dad and Graduate of The Bowdoin Method

The Bowdoin Method has been endorsed by Title I, Even Start, The National Center for Family Literacy, Migrant Even Start, Head Start, Healthy Families, Drug Abuse Prevention and National Child Abuse Prevention.
