"The children worked on My Reading Coach approximately fifteen days. 17 of the 23 made passing scores on the retest. They averaged a 17.2 point gain. These results are amazing. One student had a 40 point gain in just three weeks!"

"Not only did our students show gains on My Reading Coach, but our statewide assessment scores in reading improved significantly for these populations. As they used the program, the students became competitive and would brag about their progress through the 61 lessons. Our teachers loved the program as well. The ESL and Special Education teachers continue to use My Reading Coach with their students, newcomers and advanced, to supplement their reading and English Language Development programs. This is without a doubt the most effective direct instruction software we have used and one of our most exciting technological innovations.

“Students are proud to receive a certificate with their name printed on it. These older students are very competitive. They talk about who can get where in a certain length of time. I am asked, 'If he can do that, I guess I can too, can’t I?'”

“I enjoy working with My Reading Coach because someone is on my back correcting every error without scolding me. I like working at my own pace and level. I’m reading and feeling good about myself now.“
