Challenges

Our challenges teach reading, writing, spelling, vocabulary, grammar and punctuation in a variety of fun and effective ways. From multiple choice quizzes, matching and grouping challenges, to short writing pieces (depending on your child’s age), the curriculum challenges take your child through a full reading and writing curriculum. If your child does not score highly on a challenge, the program will re-assign the challenge to your child until they successfully master the required skills and achieve a strong score.
