Reading Opportunity

We have decided to implement the Learning Dynamics Reading System as a support for our Imagine It curriculum in our classrooms. The Learning Dynamics Reading system is designed to hold’s your child’s interest right when they need it. With each book, their reading confidence soars. The lessons present each letter, reward the child as they master a concept, and use songs to reinforce concepts.

There is an at-home component to the product that we wanted to offer as an option. With each set that is purchased, you receive 53 full-color books, CD (or digital download) with songs, lesson manual, activity book, letter rewards, and flashcards. These are the same products that are being utilized in the classroom. Each lesson is no more than 15 minutes, and the best results come from doing the lessons with your child three times per week.

If you would like to order, please use the below link. With each order, a $25-dollar gift certificate to Amazon will be donated back to your child’s teacher’s classroom.
