I was skeptical, but my two first graders are doing great! Both were starting to read in kindergarten, and can now read chapter books. The math they are going is great, already adding, subtracting, and even a little division!
The communication with the teachers is great, always available, super easy to get involved, just excellent. I must admit, I was very surprised. Close Quote
