“My son finds it boring. I motivate him with the rewards (pop out characters), which helps a bit. The songs, videos and illustrations all need an update. Too old-fashioned to draw and keep today’s kids engaged. I like the app that makes progress tracking easy.”
“These books are one of the rare sets of phonics books that introduce concepts in an orderly and gradual way, and make it easy for the young reader to master phonics and gain confidence.”
“We tried upstart with our son and he got burned out with it. This has been more effective and engaging. He is doing really well with the program. As parents we are very happy to see the results and with how easy but is for us to teach him.”
“The system didn't help much with my daughter who is going into thrid grade and is about a year behind in reading...hoping I can use it in my pre-k classroom”
“The books were nice and well paced for my son, but he's a visual learner. Having the songs without an accompanying video really killed his concentration. He is easily distracted so a few repetitive words on a card won't keep him for long.”
