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 private tutors or learning programs, most of which also have large fees to start.
For just $36/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.

Whether your child is struggling to keep up in school, already on track with reading, or exceeding expectations, our program will meet your child where he or she is. Your son or daughter will be appropriately challenged and experience success at every step.
What if we have to miss one or more classes?
That doesn’t mean that your child can’t participate in the program. We encourage you to enroll now in the program with the most convenient schedule for you, while spots are still available. After you enroll, you can contact us to arrange convenient make-up classes. Your child won’t have to miss out on any instruction.
What happens during weekly classes?
From the first class, your child’s teacher will make learning new skills productive and exciting. Your child will really enjoy class and look forward to attending week after week.
Every class is full of fun activities, direct instruction in the right reading skills for each grade level, and engaging group discussions. Students of all ages love talking about books with others, and leading discussions is our specialty. Every student participates. Every student speaks. Every student is heard.
Our expert teachers work closely with students in each class to ensure that they are making individual progress and having a wonderful, enriching experience.
What is the class size?
To ensure that every student has the chance to participate in fun, meaningful class discussions and activities while also getting individual attention and support, we cap our class enrollment at 12 students.
What will my child do between classes?
Between classes, your child will complete age-appropriate reading assignments in great books and interactive online skills lessons. These engaging lessons reinforce what students are learning in class and teach new skills needed for success in each grade level.
We make sure that all assignments are manageable for kids who also have regular schoolwork.
