Very highly recommended. My daughter looked forward to the interactive class weekly and loved the online classes throughout the week. We have definitely noticed an improvement in her ability to read.

This was absolutely a good investment. Two of my children took classes (for entering kindergarteners and for second grade) and both really gained a lot. My kindergartener worked on phonics and aight words. My second grader got some extra practice to build his confidence. Overall a great experience.

This program was a great investment for my daughter who is going into 10th grade. She is a strong reader, but this helped her improve and get great advice and direction for textbooks.

Our son had a great experience with this program. He was a little wary at first; however, the more he participated in the class and completed the at-home activities, he became more excited and engaged in the program. His teacher was first-rate! She was kind, fun and encouraging to the students. She also maintained excellent control of the classroom so that all the children could learn and participate. Well done!
