“We had a 1st Grader come to us last school year who was not progressing & was having difficulties completing her Reading Rangers sessions, causing her to have to start completely over the next day. During the summer, our staff was able to find ways to make the program exciting for her & provide incentives that kept her engaged & learning. Through their hard work, she caught up & is currently reading at her grade level!”
