What's the Best Way to Help My Child Excel?
Encourage your child to read regularly! The impact of reading for just 20 minutes a day is staggering. In fact, by the time they're in high school, students with a 20-minute-per-day habit can read over 1 million words in a single year. The more kids read, the more vocabulary and skills they master. This makes reading effortless and fun, which inspires even more reading.
Becoming a reader will give your child many opportunities to learn and grow throughout school and into adulthood. Our programs provide outstanding books at the right level challenge, plus the skill development and structure necessary to establish a reading habit. There’s no better way to ensure your child’s lasting success.
A Lifetime of
Limitless Benefits
Our students discover that the rewards of being a reader go well beyond school. Reading expands children’s horizons and gives them access to an endless source of inspiration and wisdom. As they imagine new possibilities, their dreams take flight. And best of all, reading empowers them to make these dreams come true.
