This exceptional program brings together time-tested reading and writing skills instruction, great books, and an experienced, inspiring teacher from the Institute of Reading Development, a leader in live online education for children. This one-of-a-kind combination turns students into skilled, enthusiastic readers and writers set up for success.

In this program, your child will:

  • Read two outstanding children’s novels from start to finish
  • Improve comprehension and read more fluently and rapidly
  • Learn to read textbooks and nonfiction
  • Learn to tackle challenging words
  • Become a stronger, more confident writer

Once a week, your child will attend a face-to-face online class with an expert teacher, where students can see, hear, and speak with each other. Between classes, students complete fun interactive skills lessons, plus structured reading and writing assignments. All of these lessons and assignments are designed so that children can do them independently.

With over 25 hours of instruction and activities, your child will build skills week after week. To help you during these challenging times, we are offering the program at a reduced price.
