Are you worried about your child’s reading?
Does your child:
- Read Slowly?
- Skip Words or Lines?
- Reverse Letters?
- Say the Text Moves?
- Say the Text is Double or Blurry?
- Get Eye Strain or Tired when Reading?
If so, chances are they have difficulty focusing their eyes when they read.
To read, you need to focus both eyes on the same point and track across the page. Struggling readers can’t do this, instead their eyes jump around focusing on different letters. Their brain receives two different images and has to choose which one to use.
No wonder they struggle to read!
That’s just part of the story. Children also need to be able to hear the individual sounds in words. They need to hear that
goat contains three sounds:
g-oa-t. They use these sounds to decode words and read.
Unlike fluent readers, struggling readers can’t hear these sounds. In fact, MRI scans has shown that their brains work differently.
The good news is that both of these problems can be easily overcome.
Dyslexia Gold's unique, fun and effective online programs are helping struggling readers read.
Children’s reading age improves by
12 months after 10 hours.
If your child is struggling with reading, then
Dyslexia Gold can help in only 10 minutes a day.

The three-R’s come from a seemingly silly children’s rhyme, but it actually imparts important wisdom.
A firm foundation in reading, composition, and math is essential for academic success.
Excelsior Classes provides homeschool parents with peace of mind and students with engaging instruction. Our goal is for students to read well, write well, and have a strong STEM skill set. One parent explains:
“Excelsior Classes provides a firm foundation for my high schoolers. Having teachers who are highly experienced in teaching their given subjects equips my students with a level of instruction I couldn’t impart on my own. In addition, having the teachers assign and grade on a set timeline requires accountability for my students that is vital to the adult life they are so rapidly approaching.”

Help Your Child Succeed!
Math is all too often the subject kids and adults hate with a passion. There’s even a term for it – ‘math anxiety’. With math how you start invariably determines how you finish. The sad fact is, math should be an exciting journey of discovery for children; but so often it is the opposite.
Child’s Play Math Stage One is a program that introduces children to math concepts through a structured program of play, games, open-ended tasks and challenges. As a result, learning math becomes a natural and fun process. Children routinely master concepts generally regarded too ‘advanced’ for their years. Although designed to introduce children to math at the preschool/kindergarten level, this program has proved effective with older children and adults who struggled with math the first time around.
Parents and teachers have welcomed our unique, innovative approach. Many have been shocked to discover the links between math, art and language. The program also embraces all the learning styles.
Child’s Play Math One is delivered via 29 instructional videos. A comprehensive handbook plus PPT presentations for each Unit are provided to complement the videos along with a downloadable Cuisenaire Rod app (available only in the full course).

A Daring Quest. True Consequences. Moral Courage.
Hamelin Stoop’s
adventure begins.
Afraid of being caught by trackers from another world, a young mother abandons her baby boy in a tomato box inside the screened porch of a children's home. The staff at the orphanage name him Hamelin Stoop, but he grows up longing to learn his real name, find his parents, and thus discover his true identity.
When the children's home forgets his eighth birthday, he sneaks away at night. He soon discovers that he isn't just running away -- he is being summoned by the Ancient One. Guided by the Great Eagle through a mysterious cave, Hamelin must pass a dangerous test of courage before he can find his parents.
Hamelin's failures, fears, and hopes become part of a larger story, a story of a great struggle between worlds and kingdoms where the old myths of magic, evil contracts, and enslaved children turn out to be real.
In this young adult fantasy
series, Robert B. Sloan presents dynamic characters, strange new worlds, adventure, and of course, a battle between good and evil. With a higher reading level than most middle school books, the series is clean fiction, perfect for an older child or teen’s individual reading, or as a read-aloud for the family.
Book 1
Hamelin Stoop: The Eagle, the Cave, and the Footbridge, and Book 2
Hamelin Stoop: The Lost Princess and the Jewel of Periluna are available.
