Here's what teachers are saying about Textmapping:

"For quite some time, I have been intrigued by your textmapping concepts and have used and shared the concepts with teachers/schools that I serve around the country. The approach has helped so many teachers make break-throughs with countless students. Additionally, it has re-energized many classrooms that had grown stagnant with the same methods for reading and writing. We all thank you for your work in this area of literacy!" - Cheryl Sigmon, 4-Blocks author and Reading Specialist

"Active, global modes of teaching reading comprehension are rare.... This is a great way to address the weaknesses in reading comprehension, and to teach active/metacognitive reading skills." - Reading Specialist; Clayton, MO

"This is a great strategy for visual kinaesthetic learners. You have come up with the perfect platform for teaching traditional techniques. This is an in-context meaningful way to help students know themselves as learners." - Reading Resource Teacher; West DesMoines, IA

"This has great value to help visually organize text that some LD, etc. children just don't see on their own. This is a skill oftentimes assumed by teachers, especially at the upper levels!" - Support Services; Stamford, CT
