Indiana State Superintendent Glenda Ritz noted upon viewing iLit classes in Anderson: "Reading programs such as iLit engage the children so that they're doing active reading...actually doing more reading and getting excited about it. That's probably the best piece about this… [iLit] helps the teacher to be able to fully engage the kids and focus on various specific skills that they need to master as well. I noticed that it has great vocabulary building as it goes along, continually increasing vocabulary…”
