One of the biggest challenges 3rd graders face is reading long words. We'll teach your child the decoding skills he or she needs to read multisyllabic words quickly and easily.
Fluency is the ability to read at a smooth, natural pace, without stopping to sound out words. We'll help your child become a skilled, fluent reader who is able to fully focus on the meaning of a story.

How Can I Stay Ahead of Summer Learning Loss?
Summer learning loss is the decline in skills that children commonly experience over summer break. As reading skills are fundamental to many areas of school, losing them over the summer can affect a student's overall academic experience and negatively impact confidence and motivation.
With outstanding books at the right level of challenge, plus the structure and support to practice key skills, our students find it easier to avoid learning loss—and even make substantial reading gains.
What is the Parent's Role in the Program?
Our program provides a hassle-free way to help your child improve reading skills. You'll make sure your child attends class and completes independent practice, and you'll provide support and encouragement. We'll do the rest.
Enrolling in our program will show your child that you believe reading is important, all year round.
