My niece, Zoe, is in first grade and has daily homework and reading requirements. She has gotten into the habit of doing her homework right after dinner, then using the Rusty and Rosy software just before bed. A few days ago she came home from school and asked her mom, "Can I hurry and do my homework now so I can do Rusty and Rosy?" Her mom was surprised she'd ASK to do her homework and said of course she could!
Sometimes Zoe even stands behind her brother while he's using the software (even though he is younger and at an easier reading level) just to cheer him on and see what he's doing.
Way to go, Zoe!

Testimonial- Jack can't wait!
My 5 year old nephew, Jack, used to have a difficult time having the motivation to get up, get dressed, and get going in the morning. Since he started using Rusty and Rosy Reading, as soon as he wakes up, he gets dressed and asks to get on the computer to do Rusty and Rosy Reading. He loves it, and his reading skills have improved so much in just a few weeks!
