Keep Your Child on Track This Spring
Our spring 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
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.
Understanding what you read is the key to success in all subjects, and it makes reading fun and rewarding. In our program, your child will develop strong reading comprehension and a rich vocabulary.
Build Confidence
Reading can be hard work. As your child masters new reading skills in this program, frustration, tears and resistance to reading will melt away.
In this program, your child will succeed with book after book. With strong reading skills, he or she will approach each new challenge thinking "I can do this!"
Great experiences with books are the best motivator for working on reading skills. Our expert teachers bring the wonderful books in our program to life and get kids excited about reading.
Become a Reader
With the skills your child develops in our program, he or she will be able to read with less effort and for longer periods of time in increasingly challenging books.
Discovering a love of books opens new worlds for children. Every book in our program will nurture your child's imagination, with exciting plots and engaging characters.
Regular reading has a big payoff for kids: stronger comprehension, a richer vocabulary, and greater success in school. This program will make reading an important part of your child's life, now and in the future.
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.
