Testimonials

People across North America are having an easier time communicating and learning with the help of the Expanding Expression Tool. Almost every day we receive positive comments from families and individuals that our product has helped. We are humbled by their words, and proud that our tool has helped so many.

My recommendation for those interested in the Expanding Expression Tool is simple: Use it and never look back. I have used the EET program for over a decade and it is one of the most versatile tools you'll find. Sara's program lends itself to whole and small group use and targets writing, vocabulary and many areas of expressive language. Best of all, kids love the EET and are able to implement it's core strategies into all areas of their academic day. If you are looking for a simple, practical and effective way to bring words and writing to life in your school, the EET is the way to go. Back by brain science the EET works for all populations of kids and has proven results.

If I was stranded on a deserted speech island and I could take only 1 tool with me it would be the EET hands down. I even do artic with it.

The EET is a simple yet brilliant tool for children. The genius is in its simplicity, the brilliance is in the research. This attractive, durable creation is exactly what all children need to maximize their literacy potential. The manual is easy to read, easy to follow, and generic enough for all subject use. The Expanding Expression Tool must be part of every classroom.

As a literacy coach, it is my job to provide professional development to teachers. One of the biggest challenges I face is finding ways to provide teachers with techniques that motivate students to write and write well. The EET does just that. In one first time 45 minute lesson in a fourth grade classroom, the students’ writing went from ones to threes and fours using the Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) rubric to assess. It not only increased and improved word choice, it also kept every student on topic. It is a phenomenal tool with remarkable results! I am in the process of introducing the EET to every teacher I work with. The multi-sensory approach reaches even the most difficult to work with students. The EET is a must have for every teacher at every grade level.

I used the EET for an earth, moon, and sun project. I was shocked at the details my students came up with, especially compared to last year. I can see that the EET is going to be very beneficial, especially when it comes time for the district and state tests. I have to tell other fourth grade teachers about it too.

I received my kit yesterday and had fun “playing” with it last night with my 10 year old son. He didn’t want to stop! I can hardly wait to use it with my students.

We are truly enjoying the EET and it is making a world of difference in the students. Keep up the great work and what a great contribution for kids.

Even my niece, who is dyslexic and HATES reading and writing, loved using the tool and wanted to do more and more…I heard a big difference!


Teacher Consultant

I have been implementing Sara Smith’s Expanding Expression Tool in my second grade classroom since it was developed and find it beneficial and welcoming to all styles of learners. Students are fascinated and enlightened when they discover the ease in organizing their thoughts with the use of the EET tool when writing. Since using the EET kit I have witnessed great progress in students’ abilities in oral expression, written expression, categorization and organizational skills. MLPP writing scores also have taken great leaps. I could not teach effectively without it.

I was very impressed with your EET system and the girls did well with it. We are continuing at home and there is no struggle with getting them to work on “speech” with the EET guide….Our parents are always looking for ways to work with their kids, and because this is so simple to implement I think they could be successful at home.
