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
Blending letter sounds together is at the heart of how children learn to read. We'll teach your child the phonics skills that will give him or her a great start with reading.
Sight words are the most common words kids encounter while reading, such as goes and she. In this program, your child will learn to recognize these words by sight, which makes learning to read easy and fast.
In this program, your child will practice reading in Easy Readers at the right level of challenge for beginning readers. The success your child experiences will give him or her a real sense of accomplishment.
Build Confidence
When your child succeeds with new reading skills, he or she will approach every challenge thinking, “I can do this!”
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.
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.
This program will make books an important part of your child's life. The time your child spends with books now will pave the way for future success as a reader.
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.
