Q: How much contact will I have with my teacher?

A:   You can expect your teacher to make regular phone or email contact during the 4 month course. After the initial reading assessment review, your teacher will review your records bi-weekly.  If your records indicate that an adjustment needs to be made, you will be informed.  This is an ongoing process to ensure that you are achieving maximum reading gains. Teachers will also provide a monthly summary of your progress.

A:  You will be provided with an 800 number and email for the teacher assigned to you. Teachers will be available for discussions Monday through Friday, 9-5pm EST.

Q:  Is my computer ready?

A: Since Reading Plus® is delivered through your browser, it is very easy to get started quickly as long as you have a high speed connection such as a cable modem or DSL.
