    Hi Adrian,

    I am a parent of 2 kids .My elder daughter studies in the 4th standard and would be
    completing 9 years this August. The younger daughter is 2 years and a month old.
    I am very much interested in helping to make their academic education practical and
    interesting, also to make their education sort of like education plus entertainment.
    Today I found that in your message and I had a eager “wow! this is what i need for
    my kids ” feeling. I appreciate this very noble cause that you are doing especially
    to kids in the third world , developing countries with access to the internet. where
    their school education may not be all that advanced or perfect. I would appreciate
    to have any number of such learning material with a huge thanks from my kids,my wife
    and myself.

    Hmmm nice comments..let’s see…what about telling you that YOU ARE A GENIUS!!
    I LOVE your site! The games are fabulous, the kids love em and I love you, will you
    marry me? Just kidding…I think.

    I’m a Teacher Aide who makes a LOT of resources for classrooms and I’ve been
    inspired by your creativity. I can now be seen in a frenzy and a whirlwind with
    paper, cardboard and laminating plastic!! SO THANK YOU!!

    Any more nice comments and you’ll have to send a cheque or money order to me!
    Keep up the great work it really is appreciated.

    Dear Adrian

    I am a (very impoverished)tutor working in the UK. I currently work with two
    students who have learning difficulties and have used your games very successfully
    with both of them. I also find that they can be adapted easily, eg an 8 year old I
    work with is loving using the fishing game to practice times tables ( I have
    laminated the fish and then write on the backs with a non-permanent OHP pen so that
    It can be changed easily)

    The four in a row game is also one that can be adapted. I am using this for
    pracising tables too and have also used it successfully with a dyslexic GCSE student
    for practising reading literary terms (eg onomatopoea, assonance, alliteration etc).
    Thank you so much for everything!!!

    As with all teachers in Florida, we use assessment to drive instruction, how’s that for buzz words that the top bods like to hear. When a child is lacking in a certain skill, I put them in a center designed just for that skill. Thanks so much for this game, it covers four skills that my first graders need to master. I am off to see what else you have created.

    Dear Game Maker,

    Thank you so much for posting your games on the Internet for those of us who are working with children “in need.” I am a retired teacher who is now volunteering in a neighborhood school to work with children having difficulty with reading. My own sources of reading materials have long since been given away — so it is a real gift to be able to access your materials. Thanks a million for your generosity.
