Headsprouts: Review and GIVEAWAY!

Looking for an online reading supplement for your kindergarten through second grade student? Looking for an engaging, online reading comprehension program for your second through fourth grader? Look no further than Headsprout.com.

Headsprout’s Early Reading program ensures (with a money-back guarantee) reading success for every child. The 80 online lessons are phonics based, individualized, and adaptable. Cute graphic themes offer fluent knowledge of more than 90 phonetic elements and more than 100 sight words with lots of repetition disguised as fun games. Kids will be reading at a mid-second grade level by the end of the program.

Headsprout’s Reading Comprehension program takes your second through fourth grader to the next level. It teaches the reasoning behind the comprehension questions, not just rote memorization. It teaches strategies to answer literal, inferential, derived meaning (vocab.) and main idea comprehension questions with built-in assessments and performance reports in 50 fun, engaging, online lessons.

Teaching your child to read and comprehend what he is reading are two of the most important investments you can make in your child’s education. Get the help you need from a researched, tested and guaranteed program: Headsprouts. Please check their Web site for complete pricing details (at the bottom of the FAQ page). They’re kind of long and complicated to list here.
