You have to know going into this program that there is a lot of homework to do and a big commitment from both the parents and the child are necessary. The classroom work is only the beginning and helps to get the kids engaged in the process of reading. The real hard work happens when they get home and need to read 4 chapter books in the 5 week class period. My son is a reluctant reader, so not only does he lack confidence in his abilities but he has to be talked into doing the reading (by talked into, I mean bribed or cajoled). We found that reading to him and having him repeat what was read worked best for building his confidence - he understood the story, so it was easier to both sound out and reason out what the new words might be. He loved the online portion and was always very proud of himself when he could answer all of the questions correctly. I would definitely recommend the program to friends but would make sure to emphasize the time commitment that is needed to get value out of it.

I was a little doubtful once a week and some online work would make a big difference for my struggling reader, but I saw a significant difference in her confidence and reading skills. It was a great boost to prep her for second grade.

Definitely worth it, my little girl worked hard at keeping her skills up with these fun and lovely lessons. She really enjoyed the lessons. The books picked are also great, interesting picks and she's enjoyed adding them to her reading section.

My son enjoyed this program and helped build his confidence

great program thank you

Amazing program. My son was struggling with his reading and comprehension and now he is and enthusiastic reader. And improved a lot...we are ready for 3rd grade.

Real we pay because we think this program was serious, But when we arrve was like more 20 kids on te class. And the policies is the parents can see the class. The kids spent almost all class pn silent reading a book and they never have time to wirte or work about this book. No spent money on this course. We call make complain, They said by phone they will CALL TO RETURN MONEY AND WE NEVER RECIVE A CALL..Use better your money
