National leaders in reading instruction since 1970
The reading program kids actually do.
Live online teaching, short guided practice, and a skills check you can see — month to month, Pre-K through 12th grade. Three million families have trusted us since 1970. This is not another app that sits unused.
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.
The same week parents see on the program pages — so nothing on this site sells a different product than the one you enroll in.
Live class
One 50-minute session a week with an expert IRD reading teacher — six max in a small group.
Guided practice
Short online lessons between classes. About 15–20 minutes a day — not homework theater.
The right book
Reading material matched to where they actually read — ebooks in the lessons; printed set optional for Pre-K–5.
Skills check
A weekly check on the skill we taught. About 3 of 4 kids pass. You see whether it stuck.

How risk works here
Four things that make the month honest.
- Two sessions to decide on a first school-year purchase — if the week doesn’t fit, we return the tuition.
- Month by month — nothing owed past the month you’ve already paid for.
- Pause when life happens — write help@readingprograms.org; we handle it with you.
- Reschedule within policy — stated on the program page before you pay.

“This program has been a lifesaver for my child’s confidence. She can read more fluently and has started to comprehend what she’s reading so much better.”— Wendy K., Parent of 2nd Grader
“My son had major breakthroughs. His overall confidence has grown so much. He went from avoiding books to asking to read before bed.”— Rochelle L., Parent of 3rd Grader
