Your child will attend a weekly live online class with an expert teacher. In every class, the teacher leads students in fun book discussions and activities and teaches key writing skills. Your child will love the teacher and you will, too!
Our small-group discussions help students develop deep comprehension of each program book as they make connections between the story and their own lives and identify with the characters. This will be a unique, meaningful experience for your child.
Complete Engaging, Interactive Skills Lessons
Between classes, your child will do interactive lessons that build the most important fourth-grade skills. These lessons feature fun activities and enriching exercises to improve writing skills, expand vocabulary, and teach strategies for reading textbooks & nonfiction.
Your child will also complete weekly reading assignments to develop stronger comprehension and fluency.
Read Outstanding Children’s Novels
Your child will read carefully selected children’s novels filled with interesting characters, exciting storylines, and themes that really matter to kids. The reading and comprehension skills your child learns will result in a deep understanding of these great books.
Children in our program develop the habit of reading for pleasure, which has an exceptionally positive and lasting impact on them, both academically and personally. Your child will be inspired by this experience and come away with stronger skills and the motivation to read even more.
Get Lots of Individual Attention & Support
Your teacher will work closely with your child and make sure he or she participates fully in every class and makes excellent progress. Between classes, you can schedule one-on-one appointments with your child’s teacher to ask questions or get extra help.
You’ll also have access to our homework helpline for questions about your child’s reading or writing assignments for school. Plus, at the end of the program, you’ll get a progress report from your teacher on how your child is doing.

How do our programs compare?
Proven Curriculum
We are reading experts with 50 years of experience teaching students the skills they need for every grade in school.
Independent tutors often have no established curriculum designed for your child to make steady, incremental progress.
Outstanding Teachers
Our highly trained teachers know how to keep every student engaged as they learn new skills and develop a lifelong love of reading.
Tutors can have a range of experience and are unlikely to be experts when it comes to online instruction for children in different stages of reading development.
Exciting Weekly Classes
Small-group classes allow our students to explore big ideas with their peers, while still getting plenty of individual attention.
Exclusive one-on-one tutoring doesn’t provide the same opportunities for meaningful discussion that pulls students into books.
Engaging Skills Lessons
Fun, interactive lessons keep students learning the right skills for their grade throughout the week.
Tutors might not have ready-made, high quality supplemental learning materials for your child to use between sessions
Carefully Selected Books
We don’t just choose grade-appropriate books. We pick great books that are sure to engage kids’ curiosity, imagination, and heart.
Other learning programs often don’t allow students to read whole books, making it difficult to develop the habit of reading for pleasure.
Great Overall Value
Your child will get weekly instruction, effective lessons and support, great books, and more – for a lot less than tutoring.
You could pay $100+/week for a private tutors or learning programs, most of which also have large fees to start.
For less than $38/week!
As a result of this one-of-a-kind value, many parents re-enroll their children season after season. In fact, over 80% of our fall openings were quickly filled by past participants.
