Sadde D.
I was skeptical about the program. But now I could confidently say it's a good/excellent program for both parent and child. I also learned how I can help my child with phonics and also with writing comprehension. The only thing is that I would more of writing too. But overall I would say this program is really great if one wants to build a child's confidence in reading or English in general. Hope one day they will have a program for mathematics too.

Rowan T.
I took a summer course for five weeks with the SLU Reading Program. To be completely honest at first the teacher was annoying but she was actually very knowledgeable and definitely believed in the course and the students. The course itself is a perfect fit for high school with skills that are definitely applicable in ALL classes and at any level. The fact that it was during the summer allowed me to commit the appropriate time to it without worrying about so many other activities and assignments. I also didn’t have to think about what my classmates would think of my opinions or understanding or the books or lessons.
