Prior to this program reading was a chore for my 7 year old. Now, she is more enthusiastic about reading and it helped to build her confidence. The at home interactive online reading was a plus!

I had a great time taking the live online reading class. The material was fascinating to me and I loved improving my reading speed. Prior to the class, I had a bad habit of thinking I had missed something, so I would go back and re-read frequently. However, learning the speed-reading technique showed me how much faster I can read and not miss a thing! All the techniques will be highly useful for me at work or if I decide to go back to school. Highly recommend!

Hello Celeste, thank you for your great review. I’m happy to hear that you learned reading techniques that will help you at work or at school. It’s great that you now know when to read faster and when to take notes in nonfiction texts. - Tara, Customer Care Specialist

This is the second year I have had my kid in this program. She is not a strong reader and this has helped her each year to catch up to her piers. The length of the class is just right. Its 2 hours. Assignments are done independently at home on the computer and of course reading the assigned book. I didn't give it 5 stars only because my daughter was not happy with the book choice this year. She loved it last year.
