I was looking for a reading program for my 1st grader and was referred to ScholarSkills by a friend. Words cannot explain how pleased I am with her progress in reading.

ScholarSkills is an amazing program. I have been using during the pandemic to help my child learn to read and his knowledge has exponentially increased. He is putting together sounds to make word, words to make sentences and he is seeing the world through new learning lenses. What I like most is the simplicity of use. My son can turn on his iPad and get his cards and learn. We do it on the go in the car or he can take it to his grandparent’s home. They are short lessons, but power packed. Pastor Brian is phenomenal. The first lesson he did via zoom and took time to help orient me and my son to the lesson plans and did the first lesson with him. So now he thinks Pastor Brian is teaching each lesson with him. Pastor Brian checks on all the time and always updates with new teaching techniques and ways to keep learning fun. Pastor Brian is always accessible via phone or text or email. Overall, I highly recommend the learning program. You can tell a lot of thought was put in to achieving the highest level of success for your child and you won’t be disappointed. Thank you for you all do to help put the next generation on the path for success through developing a love to read and learn.
