See how one father built confidence as a reading coach
"Before when my son read, I didn't ask him what he had understood from the book. Because I saw him reading, I thought he read well. In reality, he didn't…Now when he reads books I [stop him and] ask him, "What did you understand? What just happened there?"…I believe [his reading] is going better now."

See one teacher’s joy as her students made huge leaps forward
“With my sincere gratitude, I say confidently that Springboard never fails the students as well as the teachers. Springboard allows students to own their reading progress. Also, parents have gained confidence in reading to their children through the Parent Workshops. After 10 weeks of instruction, I found that majority of my students have made big leaps in their reading comprehension. Two of my 15 students have even advanced more than three levels. Thank you Springboard for another great opportunity for students to be empowered!"
