So far I’m not impressed. The class is to long for a 6 year. The parents basically has to do all the work because it’s online. But the teachers are nice

Hi LaTarsha, we appreciate your feedback about your child's program. Our goal is to make each class long enough to foster meaningful learning and engagement for our students, without being too long and losing their interest. We'll take your comment into consideration. We ask the parents of our youngest readers in the 4K and 1st grade programs to be present during class as a way to support their children as they learn to read. Many parents find that they learn useful strategies for continuing to develop reading skills even after the program is over. We hope that you find this to be the case by the end of your program! - Lisa Fink, Director of Curriculum.

I originally signed up for my two boys (3rd and 5th grade) for the summer reading program that was to be held at our local college campus. Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the class was moved to its online platform. I have to say I am amazed at how well organized their online platform has been. My 3rd grader is almost done with his 4th week in the program, and my 5th grader just completed his 1st week of the program. I am amazed at how much my boys have been engaged with their online teacher and their class peers. We loved that there were students from all over the US in their classes. We will be continuing to enroll every summer. Their distance learning program has been a success with our family so far!

This was an awesome experience for me and my daughter. She really enjoyed it and it was an easy process to engage. I believe it has assisted her in improving her reading skills.

My daughter loved her teacher and improved her reading. I am so glad we signed up for this program. I would definitely recommend it to any parent that wants to help their child become a better reader. Also, we had some technology issues on our end and any time I had to call in and reschedule the staff was so friendly and helpful. Thankful this program found us.

This is the second year we’ve used the program. My daughter started as a struggling reader to reading for leisure. I am also grateful for this year’s option, COVID did not facilitate a formal English/Reading education; my child’s teacher was extremely hands off, the program helped us keep our daughter on track with reading comprehension. Thank you!

Fabulous virtual class. Well organized. I wish all of the schools would do this. The teacher took control of the class, made the class engaging, and most of all...my son learned how to be a better reader and writer!
