Tommy's first language is Chinese. He was really struggling in his fifth grade classroom. He came to us reading at the third grade level with a strong dislike for school. He completed the course in thirty hours gaining almost three grade levels with comprehension. He could correctly read words at the eight grade level but didn't know what they meant. More importantly he has now read many books and is at the top of his sixth grade class! Tommy no longer thinks he is dumb or just stupid.

Bailey's first language is vietnamese. In fact that is what is spoken in the home. She was in the third grade but really couldn't read. After completing the course she is reading at or just above grade level. She can correctly pronounce words at higher levels but doesn't understand them. Bailey is quickly moving to the top of her class.
