Not what I expected...
To many kids for a one class per week. Looks more like a online program, I think a tutor will be more effective. Not what I expected for the price.

Marcos, we’re sorry to hear the program did not meet your expectations. We do limit the number of students who enroll in each class to make sure that each child can get attention from the teacher, but we also like to have enough students in each class to participate in group activities and discussions. We hope you’ll give our classes another chance next summer. - Tara, Customer Care Specialist

The videos were great to build interest in the books. I would recommend this program especially for students who are reluctant readers

I would recommend this class to others in this age group. I plan to bring my grand daughter next year when she turns 4 years old.
I would recommend this class to others. The ideas the teacher shared was very useful and needed. I liked her having the agenda written and having the adults having a small part in the class.

Helpful even for advanced readers...
My child is an advanced reader. Although he is entering Kindergarten, his reading ability was assessed at third grade level. The program allowed us to place him in the second grade reading level to make sure he would be comfortable participating and socializing, as he had never been in a formal classroom setting. The teacher had great command of her classroom while being warm and friendly and seriously, never raising her voice. I will definitely "steal" some of her techniques. The online phonics lessons are extremely good. They are engaging and educational. I would definitely recommend this program to young readers and parents.

My 4 year old was reading before the end of the class! I loved going to the class too. I could help my four year old get excited for school. The little break between the reading class and kindergarten she kept asking about doing homework.
