"As a homeschooler, the major selling points of the program for me are that it's: All inclusive. There are no additional teacher's manuals to buy, read through, keep up with, etc. Affordable. Pretty self explanatory, but many homeschoolers are single income families. Tailored to the child's interests. This program reminds me somewhat of the Bob Book series, but to me, a major benefit to this program is that you can choose the topic your child would enjoy most. Obviously one of the major benefits of homeschooling is that you can custom fit your child's education to their interests. Finally, I think the fact that Dr. Burton has a professional background in education, but developed the program to help her daughter is an interesting point. Her professional accomplishments add credibility to the product, but ultimately many products that are developed for classroom use don't really translate well to one on one homeschool use. Knowing that she developed it to be used at home, in a one on one atmosphere, is an important point." ~ Lisa, Homeschooler, Texas 

"In regards to Zachary, your series has been very helpful. He's able to associate the words with the pictures and has his favorites, which for right now is Chrissa's Cat and Thor the Train. His confidence has risen with each story. Although I purchased the program in November, I just started using it consistently in January, mostly focusing on Series A books and some B. The reason I purchased your series was my son's birthday came after the Sept. 1st cut off date for kindergarten this past year, but he showed signs that he was ready to learn how to read. Although I do have Zachary in a day care / preschool setting, I've recognize he's one of many kids and your message on WGN hit home with me as a parent that I'm the one responsible for making sure Zachary hits his milestones. As a working parent, this reading series has been my best investment for Zachary this year:)." ~ Sandra K.

"Thanks to Stepping Stones Together, my daughter has absolute enthusiasm for reading. She runs around spelling words and proudly reads her Stepping Stones books. It’s only been a week and there’s a noticeable difference in her reading abilities. She loved designing her own personal book with her name on the cover. She’ll proudly announce daily a new word she learned and how to spell it. Then she will sit and write the word over and over because she feels as though she accomplished something. It’s like a light went off. I highly recommend the program. As a mom who likes to work with her children, it’s very rewarding to see your child feeling so prideful when learning, reading, and writing. Thank you!" ~ Stephanie, Parent, Deerfield, IL
