Excellent program Great program with interactive teachers. Was pleasantly surprised. Child learned multiple sight words and is using them on a daily basis as we read at home. I intend to continue to enroll my child each summer moving forward! Love that they offer personal instruction outside of class as well as a homework helpline. Great program and wonderful resource!

Very Happy With This Reading Program My daughter has enjoyed the reading program and I like that her teacher, Ms. Chloe Johnson, is nice and patient, but also on top of the reading and work that gets covered each class. She ensures that each student participates, and provides great feedback in and outside of the weekly class. My daughter is now interested in her reading speed and looks forward to measuring it several times a week. Good book selections, and meaningful comprehension and short answer questions throughout. My daughter is homeschooled and several years ahead, and this program (for 7th grade) won her approval. We appreciate this program and will continue to refer it to other families!

Not for advanced readers My children have been taking reading classes through this program for 3 years. Unfortunately, this is not a program for advanced readers. As an educator myself, I have been so impressed with the teaching and services provided.... Until my 3rd grader was enrolled in the 6th grade section because of her academic ability and was told the first week of class she was not welcome because she was too young. I wonder what content they are sharing in the middle school sections that's not appropriate for a mature 3rd grader? When I asked to speak to the supervisor, John Boyd, he would not respond to my email or return a phone call. All I was looking for was an explanation for why a student was ranked by age and not ability. He had a teacher supervisor email me to tell me he wouldn't talk to me... I will not be returning or recommending this program to anyone because of the lack of communication and professionalism from John Boyd.

Highly recommended online summer class!! Great online class for our rising third grader. He has been a struggling reader up until now, but this course was perfectly designed for any reader and the books were just his level. His teacher was excellent and kept it moving at a great pace. My son loved that there were kids from all over the states. We would definitely take another course with this program and highly recommend it to all our friends! Our son improved in fluency, reading comprehension and decoding mutisyllabic words.

Great Program!! I am really glad we participated in the online reading program. My child's teacher was awesome and did a great job keeping the children engaged and asked them questions that helped them to think. He even set up a one-on-one meeting with us to discuss a specific concern I had regarding my child's fluency. He listened to her read and gave me great advice to help her improve. I would definitely recommend this program to others.
