Testimonials

"[Read Lead] actually made my reading better because I used to struggle on hard, huge words, but the teacher, my teacher would help me sound out the words, you know, how to get through the word."
Scholar, Lynwood
"Due to the fact that my son is a good reader, I didn't see any improvement with his reading, but I did see his comprehension increase. He was interested in the material and was able to explain the details of the content of what's read daily."
Parent, Lynwood
"Yes. I saw a lot of them growing with their reading skills. And I think having the ability to work with them one-on-one, just really take the time out, really helped them."
SLI, LYnwood
