The lessons help my struggling readers focus on letter/sound relationships, vowels, etc. The games, especially the b, d reversal games, really help and are so enjoyable my students forget that they're learning at the same time!" - Dawn Campbell, Teacher, ME, working toward OG cert."This has been a helpful resource for students to gain access to practice activities that are meaningful and short. They are set up to teach the most critical skills in a timeframe and with features such as games that hold student's engagement as well as target foundational skills." - Allison Verschueren, Teacher, BS, MsED, NBCT"Last year a fellow colleague introduced me to the I Can Fly Reading and Blast Off to Reading program. Since then I have recommended it to everyone working with students. I use the app daily to reinforce the lesson plans in the book. My students have their own workbook that they enjoy using. The app gives my students endless practice. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have it." - Deanne Lakatos, Tutor, OG Practitioner From the Author Blast Off to Reading is designed for children, ages 7-13, who are reading below grade level.
