Mrs. Bentley worked with our 9-year-old daughter, who has learning disabilities after a hemispherectomy. At the time, she could barely read. Thanks to Mrs. Bentley’s support, her reading and love of learning grew tremendously. That foundation continues to shape her success today. We’re deeply grateful for the lasting impact Mrs. Bentley made.
Our daughter had a bone marrow transplant at five and received home instruction for kindergarten. Mrs. Bentley was a Godsend—engaging, kind, and an exceptional teacher. She made learning enjoyable during a tough time and ignited a love for reading. Her impact remains a special part of our family today.
When we began, our daughter couldn’t read—but progress started immediately. Even through COVID and virtual sessions, she gained confidence and advanced several reading levels. Melinda’s consistency, kindness, and effective teaching made a lasting impact. As my daughter said, “She was kind to all the kids.”
Reading Camp has been a true blessing for my children. Reading was difficult for my son, and my daughter struggled with fluency. Both gained valuable skills—and, more importantly, rediscovered their love of reading. Thank you for making reading more than just preparing for a test. You've helped restore joy and confidence, and I am truly grateful.
My son struggled with reading from an early age, but everything changed when he was placed in Mrs. Bentley’s class. She took the time to understand his individual needs, taught him effective reading strategies, and built his confidence. Her loving, supportive approach helped him enjoy reading, and her impact continues to guide his success even today.
