I noticed a remarkable improvement in my son’s English language reading comprehension, school assignments and grades.

Hope is an amazing teacher!! My son loved the books.

The program is great. The teachers are also great. However, some books have many pages kids tired or bored to read the book to finish. I recommend if the pages of the books is not too many for kids . Example,” Curious George rides a bike “ has 45 pages .kindergarten’s Kids bored to read in one time

Luna has had great success with your weekly reading program and the well-trained and caring teachers. It is impressive to witness each class and how the teacher facilitates learning in a very positive manner.

The program was helpful in building my son's confidence in reading by breaking down vowels and consonants and blending words together. The teacher was amazing in engaging the children in discussions that provided them opportunity to think outside of the box.

If you can find the time to get the work done with the class and your child, this program is great. This is our second semester with the program (summer, now early fall). Now that my son is back in school it is easier to keep up with the program, then it was in summer. I am impressed with how far he has come in his reading, and I think this program is great for children. A little pricey but still great.

The instructor cared about my child progress, and it was awesome.

This experience was something Mason and I both enjoyed. It was something we could do during the summer since it has been so hot outside.

We had an amazing experience with the program. Everything went good from the teacher who are very experienced and kept the students engaged in every chapter of the story that has been discussed, to the online exercise engaging the book that has been read ,also to the exact amount of instructions that has been given to the children . I wish the schools will follow their foot steps.

My daughter and I love this program! The assignments and choice of books were wonderful and the class discussions were informative and helpful!

This is the biggest waste of money I have ever spent and regretted. My son was in the 1st grade reading class. The course is a 6 week course (once a week). There were 6 books mailed out (one for every week). The course was the teacher reading the story to the kids, asking questions about the images on the pages, and making up stories. Then I have to teach him how to read the book throughout the week. If I wanted someone to read him the books I would have taken him to the library. This program does not teach kids how to read and is more of a social hour. You can only get a refund if you ask for it the first two weeks after you pay but the course does not start until months later. If you attend the first class and see it’s a scam you are unable to get a refund. There’s parents in the course that never even received their books and were not given any by the last class. 6 weeks and that issue was not able to be resolved. I find it funny that the company took down their page for Google reviews and it was full of negative reviews. I’ll never use this service again and I would only recommend it to my worst enemy

Helping make great readers and leaders for the future every child should enter this reading program it's worth the investment for their lives Institute of Reading Development

My child experiences how to reading, how to identify main ideas, supporting and details from paragraphs. How to find answers for comprehension questions from the reading. Belen get experienced how to find vocabulary according to the context .

This program is very organized, keep you informed, all materials you need you are given in time for class.
Teacher is there on time, teacher is well prepared and keeps the class on track and is very good with the children.
Everything I was told my child would learn to be better at happened. She now reads more fluent and with confidence.

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.

Superb teacher and we were issued 5 engaging books and interesting software to help our rising fourth grader catch up from his missing some fundamentals during the pandemic.

Teacher's engagement

My child feels like he is an actual classroom with peers who also read and participate. Ms. Hope is certainly a great morale booster. It seems like the other children, as well as my child, are encouraged to read aloud and be proud.

The Teacher was very engaging and supportive
