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 students of all ages. This one-of-a-kind combination turns students into stronger readers, better writers, and more successful students.

In this program, your middle schooler will:

  • Double reading speed
  • Read a classic novel from start to finish
  • Improve comprehension in fiction and nonfiction
  • Learn how to study textbooks
  • 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 engaging interactive skills lessons, plus structured reading and writing assignments. All of these lessons and assignments are designed so that students can do them independently.

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

Double Reading Speed

In this program, your son or daughter will learn to read twice as fast.  Reading faster improves concentration and comprehension, makes reading more enjoyable, and helps students complete schoolwork quickly and easily.

Build Comprehension

Under the guidance of a highly trained teacher, your middle schooler will learn to track story structure, plot, theme, and character development in a classic novel. Lively class discussions help students build these essential comprehension skills.

Strengthen Writing Skills

Students learn to communicate ideas effectively in well-crafted sentences and well-organized paragraphs. They also learn to avoid common errors that trip up middle-school writers. Your son or daughter will come away confident and prepared for any writing challenge.

Study Textbooks & Nonfiction

Your child will learn the most effective strategies for tackling textbooks and nonfiction. Students learn to recognize how information is organized, identify main ideas, and take clear, well-organized notes to retain even the most difficult material.

Get the Right Results

Gains in speed and comprehension make reading effortless and enjoyable.  Combine these gains with improved writing and study skills, and your son or daughter will return to school ready to succeed in every subject.
