My son could hang in third grade reading with one-on-one instruction, but he couldn't read on his own.
The American Reading Company IRLA program is the ROADMAP to reading, it really does put the training wheels on the reading bike and gradually moves them up to a 12-speed AT THEIR LEVEL, AT THEIR PACE, until they are riding the reading bike with NO HANDS! He was frustrated and so were we.įINALLY, an answer to our prayer we were introduced to IRLA in December 2015, and the program is AMAZING (and that word does not even do justice)! How every single school and library in the country does not have this is beyond me and unacceptable. Teachers told us to just keep reading, but that wasn't enough and it was not working. I spent years reading to him because the words on the page were just too hard for him to read himself he would cry and so would I, wondering if he'd ever be able to read on his own. We went to the library to get books and would check out 75 at a time, but NONE ever seemed to be right or at his level where he could read independently with confidence. We have tried EVERYTHING we could think of or were told to do to help him read, but his gains were minimal and frustrating. My middle son, now 9, has shown signs of struggle since PreK and we have struggled alongside him until now. My 11-year-old is in a gifted and talented program he was independently reading at age 3. I have three children, all at different academic ability levels. I just want to stand on the top of a mountain and shout to all who can hear me, the American Reading Company reading program is the BEST READING PROGRAM ever! “As a stay-at-home mom and former Kindergarten and first-grade teacher, I have had the pleasure of discovering your books!” -Kimberly, mom of 1 Customer Stories
