I enrolled my entering 2nd and 5th graders into the summer reading program, and I'm so glad I did. Both kids really got a lot out of the classes, homework, and time spent reading. And, although it was summer break, they both truly enjoyed the program. My entering 2nd grader really needed the extra help, and this program worked wonders for us. I would highly recommend.

I think this was a great class for my daughter who is entering 7th grade. She really enjoyed the books she read. She said her teacher was encouraging and nice. I loved that this program gave assignments to help her with comprehension, vocabulary, speed reading, and writing skills. I plan to have her take it again next year. The class went very smoothly. All the reminder emails before each class was so helpful and made it so easy.

My daughter had a very hard time learning to read. I was trying phonics, flash cards for sight words, working along with her school which was doing whole language approach, yet she could not read. She was later diagnosed with dyslexia. She attended institute of reading, and a break through happened. She is reading, Institute of Reading works. Thank you

I found this to be a great course of instruction for our six year old. It's professionally prepared, but not overwhelming. They seemed to tailor the weekly level of effort to be just right for busy parents and kids and selected a good set of age-appropriate books. The instructor for the live, virtual lessons seemed prepared and engaged, especially given the challenge inherent in managing a live class of five or six year olds.

The reading program has been helping our child to be a more confident reader.

The wonderful thing about this program is that the teachers engage the students, instead of calling on those who volunteer or raise their hand. In doing so, those otherwise shy/introverted children would not gain social skills. From the literature perspective, the books are on par with the grade level. My child has been participating in this program for several years and sometimes the books assigned in this program/class have already been read as curriculum in her school. Overall, I am very pleased with the value of this program.

My grandson really enjoys the online reading program. The teachers are very good at holding the attention of the children and they make it interesting therefore the children are learning.

loved the program
