No. You do, however, need to log your child into the online classroom at the start of each class, but then you can either stay or do other things you need to do. You may need to teach your child which button to click when I ask them to unmute, or join a break out room (blue button).

No. Our curriculum is designed to be self-contained within our reading class each day so you don't have to buy any additional supplies.

Yes. You can access our online classes on Zoom on any device where you have internet.

Yes.

If your child isn't able to make it to class one day, that's okay! If it happens to be a day we assess them, we'll do it next time! Watch the video links on this day if you can, and take advantage of the bonus activities if you like too.

We assess children anywhere between two weeks and two months depending on their natural learning rate, confidence level, and other indicators. We use assessment results to determine when they’re ready to level up.

It’s as simple as being your child’s cheerleader. When they share that they learned something new, jump for joy alongside them. Show interest in reading by reading books to your child and having fun conversations with them about it. Be easy-going. Happy children learn faster. 

I had to figure this out for my own children too. We recommend setting up a recurring phone alarm. For breaks, set an event on your phone calendar to pause the phone alarms, and set another one to resume the phone alarms. If at any time you wish to remember to check the school calendar, set an event on your calendar to check. This is great practice for when your child attends public school and you'll need to do this anyway for in service, breaks, minimum days, and tasks that schools ask us to do. "Set it and forget it" has helped me keep my stress low and keep things together as a busy mom. I hope it helps you too. :)
