Parents and teachers should pay close attention to this program for several reasons. First, early reading skills are foundational for a child's overall academic success and personal growth. This program provides targeted, engaging activities to strengthen reading comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency, making it invaluable for kids at this critical stage.
