Many parents are intimidated by the responsibility placed on them to teach their children to read these days at earlier and earlier ages. Those parents will find this series to be like finding a good friend in a time of need. Children in our testing facilities were immediately engaged, repeating the words they were asked by the DVD. The pacing is just right allowing kids to keep up and not feel frustrated. Parents reported that they noticed an significant increase in their children’s curiosity and understanding of concepts such as prefixed and suffixes. Each DVD is clearly labeled as to the order which they should be introduced and the lessons included. The length is long enough to keep children involved and actively participating in learning how to read.
