Below are recent comments from parents and students who have taken the reading classes with the Institute of Reading Development.
"My son really enjoyed acting out the stories after they were read in class. He wants to act out the books we read at home now!"
- Parent of a pre-kindergarten student
"My daughter suddenly started asking for bedtime stories, instead of staying up late to watch cartoons! This class gave her confidence and has greatly enhanced her class participation."
- Parent of 1st grader
"My daughter pays more attention, tries harder to sound out words, and has learned how to break down words that are hard to pronounce."
- Parent of 2nd grader
"My son has definitely improved his word-attack skills and fluency. He looked forward to class every week. He reads with a lot of expression and has improved his comprehension. It was a great class! The teacher…gave a lot of practical tips to continue the skills."
- Parent of 3rd grader
"Our son has begun to love reading. Now he can't stop and seems to be on fire to finish a book. Thank you so very much for the skills taught and for making it fun to learn and read."
- Parent of 4th grader
"Before I had trouble not knowing how to study. The teacher taught us how to be better at reading textbooks."
- 6th grade student
"I have learned to study my vocabulary better. I have learned how to read better. This class has increased my confidence, I think this will help me on my SATs."
- 11th grade student
"I wish I had taken this class before returning to school! My instructor taught me to take control of my reading, instead of letting my reading assignments control my life. I read much faster and I remember much more. Thanks!"
- MBA Student
