Stretch and Catch works! My daughter, who is 6 years old, has a learning disability diagnosis of “Speech Delay." When she was in Pre-K, the school she was attending was not going to let her go to their kindergarten class because she wasn't able to recite the alphabet, numbers 0-20, colors and basic shapes. Consequently, we sent her to a private school that specializes in students with learning challenges. After three months at the specialized school, my daughter still wasn’t able to recite the alphabet, recall letter names or their sounds. However, after five lessons with Stretch and Catch she was reading! Remember, my daughter wasn’t able to recognize letters and their sounds prior to starting with Stretch and Catch and in five lessons she was reading. We have been doing two-to-three lessons per week and after two months, my daughter is at the level she is supposed to be in and now beginning Grade 1 books. Stretch and Catch works!

I cannot be more pleased with Stretch & Catch.  My granddaughter was struggling with reading and spelling in 2nd grade.  We started with the program 2 weeks prior to starting 3rd grade.  She started with a LEAP week which she moved from a 2.3 reading level to a 3.0 in just 5 sessions.  We continued with the weekly reading and her school test scores placed her reading at the high level and far above average.  Her success has made going to school so much more positive.  Thank you all for helping my granddaughter achieve her potential and be successful.

My daughter is in the 4th grade. She’s been struggling with reading and spelling since the 1st grade. She hated reading. We’ve only been coming to Stretch & Catch for a couple of months and she’s already improved so much on her spelling and she’s started reading books at home on her own for fun. Her confidence about reading has definitely increased! Seeing this change after watching her struggle for so long is amazing! I look forward to seeing how much more she improves during her time with Stretch & Catch!

I can't say enough wonderful things about the Stretch and Catch Reading Center. My son was in 4th grade when we started. We had tried a variety of home programs, in school teacher tutors and reading labs to help increase his reading comprehension.  When we started at Stretch & Catch in March of his 4th grade year he was reading at 2nd grade 5th month level. After working with the center through LEAP weeks and continuing weekly most of the summer, my son started 5th grade just below a 5th grade level. The progress was the most significant of anything we've tried. He worked with the ipad app as well at home and is now doing much better. His confidence has improved as a result. Thanks for all the great work you do!.

It has been a blessing to discover Stretch & Catch Reading Center! The program has been proving to be a great support to our son by helping him to become a better reader and giving him a boost of confidence at the same time.  The easiness and clarity of the class has helped him retain information about reading as well as spelling.  He is no longer reluctant to grab a book and enjoy reading it to us.  He even points out words he find in his daily drive and on his drive to Stretch & Catch.  We can't thank you enough!

My daughter started reading classes with Stretch & Catch when she was only 4 1/2 years old.  She was already enrolled in preschool but I felt she wasn't learning as much as she wanted.  So she started with individual reading instruction.  My daughter is now 5 and is able to read chapter books!  It is incredible what the Stretch & Catch Reading Center has accomplished with my daughter.  She is still enrolled!  I strongly encourage every parent to try the Stretch & Catch program for their child!

Stretch & Catch has been a true gift for our child. The advancements she has made educationally with Stretch & Catch are beyond anything ever expected. As a former educator....ALL CHILDREN SHOULD ATTEND Stretch & Catch. You will be beyond thrilled with your child’s progression! She is so confident in her abilities in ALL areas of her life which came in natural progression with assistance of the Stretch & Catch program. HANDS DOWN....the best money I have & will ever spend.

My 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter have been with Stretch and Catch for the past two years (I also have a 4 year old taking a Stretch and Catch class through her preschool). My son needed a boost in reading and since his time at the reading center, he is considered an “Above” level reader, but most importantly, he is a voracious reader. He reads about 25 books a year, ranging from Hunger Games to Percy Jackson. I am immensely proud with his progress in reading and attribute that to Stretch and Catch.

My daughter is a current student at Stretch and Catch and moved from a “Below” level reader to an “Above” level reader. Stretch and Catch has helped her with her confidence in reading and comprehension. I am amazed with her progress and appreciate the feedback I receive from her teachers on what I need to work on at home with my daughter. My daughter really enjoys being at the center and gets real value out of her time there.
