Keep Your Child on Track With Learning to Read
Our winter program provides a proven path for your child to improve key skills, increase confidence, and get really excited about books and reading. Click on the building blocks below to explore all the ways your child will benefit from this fun, effective program.
Strengthen Skills
Learning to match letters with their sounds is the foundation for learning to read. We'll teach your child the early phonics skills that will give him or her a great head start with reading.
Sight words are the most common words kids encounter while reading, such as is, has, and the. In this program, your child will learn to recognize these words by sight, which makes learning to read easy and fast.
Blending letter sounds together in order to read words is a big step for new readers. Our program provides the repetition and reinforcement your child needs to feel confident about learning to read.
Build Confidence
Learning to read is exciting, but it can also be challenging. As your child gains early reading skills in this program, frustration, tears, and nervousness about reading will melt away.
When your child succeeds with new reading skills, he or she will approach every challenge thinking, “I can do this!”
Great experiences with books are the best motivator for learning to read. Our expert teachers bring the wonderful books in our program to life and get kids excited about reading.
Become a Reader
The skills and confidence your child gains in this program will make learning to read easy and fun. He or she will continue to grow as a reader, even after the program is over.
Discovering a love of books opens new worlds for children. Every book in our program will nurture your child's imagination, with exciting stories and beautiful illustrations.
