We offer three products for home use:

The Reading Success Lab products are targeted at children who have struggled in learning to read. These products include tools to identify the source of a reading problem, to help a student successfully overcome a reading problem, and to tailor intervention activities to the particular needs of the student. These products are based on more than 20 years of research at a University based research laboratory that developed effective procedures for working with children who have struggled in learning to read.
