Q:  Do you have a course for me?

A:  Yes, our course is personalized for all levels and ages of students.  If you would like to enroll yourself in a course, simply purchase an additional course (at a reduced rate), and you will start with a reading assessment that will determine the course plan that will be most beneficial for your reading needs and current ability.

Q: How much contact will I have with my child’s Reading Plus® teacher?

A:   On average, you can expect your child’s Reading Plus® teacher to make regular phone or email contact during the four-month course. After the initial reading assessment review, your child’s teacher reviews your child’s records bi-weekly.  If your child’s records indicate that an adjustment needs to be made, you will be informed.  This is an ongoing process to assure that your child is achieving maximum reading gains. Reading Plus® teachers will also provide a monthly summary of your child's progress.
