Fun reading program for kids! This is the 2nd year my son has completed the summer program. I like the program so much that I immediately signed him up for school year program that starts this week. Online activities are fun and interactive. The books selected are engaging and age/grade level appropriate. I appreciated the reading list they gave that included recommendations for reading alone, reading with parents, chapter books, etc. Worth the investment.

The reading program was a blessing after the Covid schools shut down. It kept my daughter reading engaging novels and helped her improve not only her comprehension but fluency and decoding skills as well. Thank you! Aymee DeToma

This was a great program. I was very impressed with the instructor, with the book, and with the weekday assignments. My son learned quite a lot in the five weeks and really enjoyed his time in the program.

I had both my 8th and my 6th grade Triplets take this program. They never complained about getting on line for the class or having to do the writing assignments. They absolutely loved the book and many of our dinner conversations were about what was happening in the book. They all improved both speed and comprehension. In fact, when I asked my least confident kid about this, she actually smiled and said "she was killing it". The instructor was great - enthusiastic and inclusive of all the kids and you could tell she had a passion for reading too. I would highly recommend this program.

This program has been amazing. My daughter improved her reading speed during the very first class session. This program has also sparked her interest in reading; she's since joined a book club. She has applied the skills learned by writing more creative, engaging paragraphs. I've recommended this course to my friends and relatives.

The program is great for kids learning how to read and interact with other students.

We had a wonderful experience. My son loved his classes. The workload was just right and now my son loves to read and even grabs books on his own in addition to our normal reading time. Thank you.

Great online class for our rising third grader. He has been a struggling reader up until now, but this course was perfectly designed for any reader and the books were just his level. His teacher was excellent and kept it moving at a great pace. My son loved that there were kids from all over the states. We would definitely take another course with this program and highly recommend it to all our friends! Our son improved in fluency, reading comprehension and decoding mutisyllabic words.
