“We purchased My Reading Coach for our 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students who needed accelerated instruction. We soon learned that it was very strong in building fluency for students who could not read enough words per minute. We began with 1 station in August, 2004, and currently have twelve.”

"My Reading Coach addresses the needs of kids in 3rd grade and higher who never really learned the basics of reading."

“The biggest tip I would give teachers is to give it a chance to work. Sometimes the students would seem like they weren’t making progress and then the light bulb went off and then they were really flying. They really got it!"

“My Reading Coach takes my 9th to 12th graders back to the basics, teaching them the decoding and encoding skills they missed in elementary school.”

"Now that I'm in My Reading Coach I can write to my friends all the time. I use to ask people all the time how to write some of the words but now I don't. Now that I have found the coach my wirting has improved 100%. Now that I have found the coach, I have a goal to get my GED. You and I know that it is hard when you don't know how to read and write. You and I know that it makes it hard to find a good job. But thanks to MindPlay I now have a chance to better myself and get my GED. So when I get out I will have that good job."

"I think that [My Reading Coach] really helped me a lot. It helped me so much that now when my niece wants me to read a book to her, I say OK. I can do it. The program was hard to do, but when I got to the end of a level, I felt so proud of myself."
