Very unsatisfied with this program. Zoom didn't work with first Session then the 2nd session no volume no way to communicate. The only thing we got out of this program was some books. Also we already had some of them. All we want is to be reimbursed for the teacher's zoom because its obviously not working out. We have no desire to continue. It's wasting our time and time is precious to us. Tired of excuses would love for this program to make it right and reimburse us for what we didn't receive.

The communication, or lack thereof, from this center is absolutely horrid. I find it incredible that they save face by responding to every review on these types of websites, however, when they are reached out to via email or through their online communication system, regarding a question or any other inquiry, you hear nothing but crickets.

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.

This reading program is very helpful to us as busy parents. We see our son growing on his reading skills and we're looking forward to enrolling him in winter class.

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.
