Testimonials

Jaime, homeschool mom
The Urby Literacy Remix Course has it ALL! Candice provides so much knowledge and insight, while creating energy, positivity, and fun. As a former public school educator and a current homeschooling parent, I can appreciate the amount of work and dedication put into this course. I love how this course identifies and focuses on some of the most important foundations of literacy. I also am thankful for the understandings provided on literacy terminology, distinguishing various sounds, the highlighted importance of PHONICS, and the fun activities/strategies. My 1st grader is already benefiting from Shaping Phonics! We have started using Shaping Phonics to improve her spelling and writing skills. Her words, "Mommy it helps me so much to see the letters in the shapes." This is mom tested and kiddo/mom APPROVED!

So, about 2 weeks ago, I came across my former hs classmate and friend, Candice Williams of Urby Education In the past 2 weeks, Makemba has learned to read and spell off of just 1 of many lessons...that's 1 lesson in 2 weeks. Damon and I are in awe of how much she's learned in such little time. Candice has amazing techniques and makes it fun for kids to learn and read. Thank you Candice for your vision and I pray that it grows beyond what you imagined. For those of you looking for a valuable learning resource for your toddlers or kids who have challenges, Urby Education is exactly what you need

Calvin Hobbs, Educator
She and her fellow team members work of developing and designing Common Core aligned materials and assessments for the recently implemented ELA curriculum. The students in my class that Candice was able to offer consistent extra support and was able to exceed their goals. Her guidance has helped teachers effectively look at student work and also review screening and progress monitoring data in order to make deliberate instructional moves. Candice genuinely respects the teachers that she works with and they very much respect her.

I sure will, it was super helpful. I just acquired a kindergarten client and this gave me the confidence to try new things with her. The index cards, vowels and sentences for sure!
