Local fourth-grader brings software exec to school for ‘show and tell’

MADBURY, NH—Parker “PK” Smith, a fourth grade student in Sarah Curtin’s class at Moharimet Elementary School was recently selected as the class “Star of the Week.” As such, Parker was able to present anything, or anyone, to his class for show and tell. Parker selected Neil MacGregor, Vice President for Learner Development for goQ Software in Dover. Parker had so much fun using the goQ product WordQ to help improve his reading and writing that he wanted to share his learning discovery—and Neil—with his classmates. MacGregor, who is Dyslexic, met with students and teachers during class and shared his experience of how WordQ helped him overcome his own reading and writing challenges.
