I enrolled my 4 year old son in the K-5 reading class last year. By the 3rd reading class, he was reading! He's been reading so we'll and improving his speed since then. I enrolled him in this year's 1st grade reading program. It is well worth the price. I definitely recommend this reading program.

My son was in the reading program last summer. It definitely prepared him for the 3rd grade. I enrolled him again for this summer in the reading and writing program to prepare him for 4th grade. I’m excited for him to go they did such an amazing job last year with him. Thank you!! I know this is the reading program but I wanted to see if there was a Math program for the summer or if there could be one if not?

Jennifer
My boys have autism spectrum. They are so reluctant to read. After I enrolled them to the summer reading program. I found out that it really helps a lots. The word decorating teaching is so great. So I enrolled them for this program. They read! Because they have a reading schedule to follow. The books are good. I wish they have a online writing program .
