Micheline
Great program, it helps kids get back on track and get ready for school. The only suggestion I have is if they would make it more fun, my daughter was not too excited to go, but she did participate and did her work.

My grandson was exposed to a variety of books, not the usual subject matter he might choose on his own. However, I felt that the books increased in difficulty too soon, not a gradual progression. But my grandson is a struggling reader, so that may have been a factor too.

This program really works! My daughter is one of the top readers of her class but what’s more important, she loves to read! Which I hope stays with her for the rest of her life.

Merlyn J.
My son and I are very satisfied with the program. My son would look forward to each class. He enjoyed and was able to follow the online lessons on his own. The books provided were great stories and level of difficulty for him was just right. His biggest struggle was the individual class activities, he gets distracted easily and also the length of the class. Furthermore, since parents are able to remain in the class I was able to assist during those challenging times. A suggestion is to possible have an assistant, just as not all children are able to remain focused on their own.
