Fun and engaging characters motivate students to succeed at Hayes Elementary in Clark County School District, Las Vegas, NV

Hayes Elementary teacher Denise Gorelick describes how her students are inspired by the characters in RAVE-O to learn the meaning behind complex words and sentences and form connections that facilitate learning and literacy.


“My assistant principal came through to observe one day and was fascinated by it [RAVE-O]. I had already suggested that we use it for ELL because of making the connections and understanding that words have different meaning. I absolutely see it going further. It’s a great program.”
