“My daughter is a struggling reader and has been using MindPlay steadily now for several months. Her comprehension and fluency is steadily increasing and, for the first time, she's reading books for enjoyment on her own. She loves the lessons and that she's getting one-on-one instruction. Her reading confidence has soared. As a parent, I love the progress reports and the details it provides.”
