Classes running this week across the country
The receipts
They do the work. We can prove it.
Every week: a live teacher, short guided lessons, a book at their level, and a skills check on what we taught — not a sticker for showing up.

One connected rhythm. Not another pile of worksheets.
Teaching, reading, and practice work together, with the materials and instruction suited to your child’s stage.
Live class
One 50-minute session a week with an expert IRD reading teacher — six max in a small group.
Guided practice
Pre-K–5 students use short online lessons between classes. Older students read between classes to practice what they’re learning.
The right book
Reading matched to your child’s level. Pre-K–5 lessons include every book as an ebook, and families can add printed books.
Reading updates
An assessment helps us understand your child’s starting point. Reading updates every six weeks help you follow their development.

Printed books to keep.
A book to practice with this week. A favorite to read again. A library that grows with your child. Add four printed books a month for $22, shipping included.
Book availability is shown by grade at checkout. If your child’s grade is sold out, the $22 starts when the first books ship, and your child reads the ebooks until then.

How risk works here
Four things that make the month honest.
- Try the first two sessions. If the program isn’t the right fit, tell us within 48 hours of your child’s second session or within 21 days of purchase, whichever comes first. We’ll refund your payment in full; any books already shipped are yours to keep.
- Month to month. Cancel before your next billing date to stop your next payment. No additional charge for books already shipped.
- Pause when life happens — write help@readingprograms.org; we handle it with you.
- Reschedule within policy — stated on the program page before you pay.
