What parents say

Parents' biggest praise is that young kids actually want to do it: the cartoon lessons and rewards keep them engaged, and printable worksheets add offline practice. Reviewers call it a solid supplement rather than a full curriculum. It stops around third grade, and kids can sometimes click through to credit without understanding.
