iReading TUTOR was amazing with my daughter online. We love the convenience of tutoring online because it doesn’t waste gas money and my time carting her to the lessons. She made so much growth in her decoding and comprehension skills. I Reading tutor even informed us about a FL state reading scholarships for students that earned an FSA level one or two in the 3rd and 4th grade.
