I was SO impressed with our first literacy session with Jeff! Henry was able to point out letters and get 90% of them right. We hadn&#8217;t even thought he was to that point yet! Jeff tried numerous different methods and made the session fun for Henry. He is such a smart little boy and Jeff is helping him achieve his potential. I cannot thank GiGi&#8217;s enough for this opportunity. Henry is really benefiting from all the different programs opportunities we have.
