Amazing program! My husband and i signed our kid up for the program over the summer and he really enjoyed the program, He enjoyed the interaction with the teacher and the books used for the program. He started back to school this year a much more confident and eager reader. He now wants to read at least 2 or 3 books a day; if not more. Excellent program!

Great eight week program that helped build my son's confidence in reading and also helped him read more fluently. The homework assignments were very engaging and my son looked forward to completing them every week.

We began this program in the Fall of 2020 for my then 1st grader who was below average for her level. At the end of the program, which was in time for mid-year assessments her level increased to her appropriate level. I decided to enroll her in the program again during the summer to ensure she remained at her appropriate reading level for 2nd grade. We have seen a tremendous increase in her reading ability and confidence. I highly recommend this program.

The online reading program is fabulous! Everything taught in the sessions whether online or individual work is a total reinforcement for what is needed in fifth grade. I love how the teachers are cognizant of each student and include them in the discussions. I would recommend this program to anyone wanting their child to keep up with reading or challenge them to read upper level. It's a perfect program for kids who like to talk in small groups and share their ideas.

My granddaughter is so much more confident in reading. These lessons are perfect for 1st graders. l like the interaction with "Wordy" the star and the games they play. I would recommend this course to others. I have signed my granddaughter up for the Fall session as well.

Dana F.
My 5 year old son going into Kindergarten learned so much from this reading program. He was having so much trouble with phonics and this helped him tremendously. His teacher was great and he loves reading books even more now! I will definitely have him do this program again next summer.

My kids loved the program and the books. It helped them get more confident in reading to a group of other children. The class size was not too much and they received ample attention from the teachers. We are joining again for the fall session.
