Fun and active reading program My son loves the class and the book he is reading. Although he is not a native English speaker, he is enjoying the program and working hard to keep up and learn. The teacher makes it fun and easy for the kids to participate. My son doesn't like to read much but he enjoys reading and discussing the assigned books.

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.

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.

This was GREAT! despite our virtual learning nerves We were presently surprised at how much our son enjoyed this program online as the start of virtual learning had just started for our kindergartener and he hated it. The teacher was amazing and great at keeping the kids engaged. We did it through the summer it has made for an easier transition back to virtual learning for 1st grade. We plan to continue as supplement for my son because he goes to school in Spanish & Greek. This has been great for his english.

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!
