We formulated a plan that included using the Reading Horizons materials, contracting an amazingly gifted instructor, and recruiting 15 eager adult learners. A class of 12 students met five days a week, three hours per day for, 70+ hours of intense direct and computer-based instruction. Due to the remarkable Reading Horizons' curriculum and the dedication of all involved, students made astronomical grade equivalency changes in a short period of time. The aforementioned combination transformed nonreaders in to readers and provided students with answers to the “why” behind particular phonetic and grammatical rules.

The customer service from Backbone is unparalleled. If we have an issue, we just make a phone call and speak to an actual person and the problem has always been remedied immediately. Thank you Backbone for helping us help our students!
