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.

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.

Our teachers really know how to inspire young readers. It's wonderful that this has been the case for Triston! Thanks for sharing your experience - Kate, Customer Care Specialist
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.
