What Parents and Teachers are saying...

Amy
Homeschool Mom
"We are having so much success with the 25 day program so far! We are on day 7, and my son loves it. He is a 5-year-old homeschooled kindergartener. Before it was like pulling teeth to get him to do his reading and within a minute he was in tears or saying his “mouth hurt” from trying to read. With this, he’s excited to start and focused throughout the whole lesson. He is really reading the words and has so much confidence. We are very pleased with the program and thankful for it! It has definitely changed our lives!"

Esther
Special Needs parent and Childcare provider
“I’ve used Reading Patch not only for my daughter with Down syndrome, but also for the 4-year-olds in my day home preparing for kindergarten. It’s truly an amazing program—the kids absolutely love it, and the parents are thrilled with how quickly they learn to read. Those who’ve already entered school are doing wonderfully thanks to the head start they got from this program. There really is no way to thank you enough!”
