I am really glad we participated in the online reading program. My child's teacher was awesome and did a great job keeping the children engaged and asked them questions that helped them to think. He even set up a one-on-one meeting with us to discuss a specific concern I had regarding my child's fluency. He listened to her read and gave me great advice to help her improve. I would definitely recommend this program to others.

This reading program has been a blessing this summer 2020. This is my daughters second time in the program and although this summer was a little different since it was online, it was still an amazing program! She learned how to read with fluency and was able to practice her comprehension a lot. So blessed with this program!

We had planned for an inperson summer course but with COVID ended up going virtual. Virtual was wonderful. The teacher was top-notch, knew how to do online teaching and really engaged the kids. My daughter had lots of reading practice and really like the class and activities during the week.

The classes was to big. Didn’t really focus on my child.

Hi, Martina. We are disappointed to hear this since we limit the size of each class and manage our classes so that all students participate equally.– Tracy, Customer Care Specialist

This summer was our sixth Reading Program class and it just keeps getting better with the choice of books. My child really loved his teacher this summer because she made the lessons relatable and applicable. We can't wait to sign up for the next class. I highly recommend!

A fantastic early reading class, my daughter is now spelling out words, recognizing sight words, and rhyming on her own. She is four years old. And we loved all the picture books we received. One was Blueberries for Sal, and when we went blueberry picking this summer, my daughter exclaimed, "Hey, we're picking blueberries just like Sal!" And then she made kerplink noises as she dropped the berries in her plastic bucket. I'd say her reading comprehension is strong! Overall, this class was a win! (Note: my daughter has always loved books and literacy, and showed signs of wanting to read prior to this class.)

This was a first for us, and so far my little one was quite engaged. The book that were recommend was just right , the stories were interesting and not long. Which he loved. Sometimes when stories drag and takes long to get to the point, My little one losses interest. Within was each session, the educator encourages the children to talk about the book. This process helped my little one remember details and understand reasoning within each problem. Overall, he enjoyed it and so did I .
