Our youngest daughter use to struggle with reading. She just couldn't grasp phonics rules or sight words for the longest time. I would have loved having the Reading Intervention Programs from MaxScholar for her back then. When we were given the opportunity to review this program, I was excited to see how it could improve on her skills. Our review team was given a year subscription and we will continue to use this program throughout our next school year.
So, you are probably wondering what sets this reading program apart from all the others. Let me tell you that it is different! They use a multi sensory method that is sure to help your child learn to read or improve their reading skills. This program is geared to help children with dyslexia, ADHD, auditory processing disorders, or children who are just struggling with learning to read. Even though our daughter can read quite well now, I feel this program is improving her skills in the area of comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary.
Setting up our account was easy. I have a parent dashboard where I can assess how well Hope is doing. I love being able to see her progress. Her dashboard is easy for her to use all by herself. At first she took a placement test for each level. She tested out of the MAXPHONICS level, so most of her time was spent doing MAXREADING and MAXWORDS.
Maxreading has stories that your children will read through. Once they choose a story to read they open it up and see that certain words are already highlighted for them. They can click on the highlighted words they do not know to get the definition or how the word is being used in this context. Once they are ready to move on they click next. They then read through the story on their own.
After reading through the story, they are asked to highlight the topic, main ideas and the important details of the story. This helps them to better comprehend what is being conveyed in the story. When they complete this, they are then asked to write an outline and are given a writing exercise to go along with the lesson. There are then questions and games to help reinforce what has been taught.
There are also four sublevels that can encourage your children to learn more and more. They are MAXMUSIC, MAXVOCAB, MAXPLACES, AND MAXBIOS. Each of these are fun and education. They have games to play as you learn about different musicians, places, and important people. Hope's favorite sections was Maxvocab. She loved playing hangman as she learned new words.
I've never seen a reading program that is so in depth. They go the extra mile to make sure our children are really grasping all they need to know in order to be fluent readers.
Hope just started working with the Maxwords level of the program and we are already seeing her learning all about syllables. I have never seen this approach and I will be reviewing this part of the program more at a later date.

Our daughter is a Freshman in high school and she was diagnosed with ADD. Papers have always been a battle. So grateful to have discovered Ink for All, it's meant to be distraction-free
