This is a great program to help our kids to get a better understanding on how to read and understand what they are reading.

My kindergarten level (entering first grade) son took the reading program. Overall, it was fairly basic. The computer portion is good but the classroom portion falls behind. It was delivered too quickly for my child to adequately keep up, so he really gained nothing from class attendance. Also the classroom portion is woefully behind in technology compared to what my son is used to in his regular classroom and had high expectations for how long kindergarten aged children were to sit still with no break and no interaction. I suggest the computer portion only at your child’s own pace with heavy adult support and supervision in your own home.

The program is perfect for children entering kindergarten, they become familiar with letter sounds and sight words.

Kristi Shepard I.
This reading program was comprehensive and tailored to each child. There was a good portion for fiction reading and a good portion for textbook reading. The teacher interacted in a friendly and fun way while keeping control of the class. So happy about this program!

Our grandson enjoyed the program and looked forward to doing the on line classes. He made good headway in sounding out his words and understanding them. I think part of the excitement is interacting on the computer. He still enjoys reviewing the previous courses and going through the excercises. I am only limiting my review to four stars because my daughter attended the weekly classes with my grandson and I cannot speak to them.

The class was very age/grade appropriate and was very helpful! I feel my child learned a great deal from this experience and would recommend to other parents.
