What Parents Say

“Joaquin is enjoying his Reading Safari class! It looks so promising that in no time I'll be able to see reading progress and even speaking progress. “
- Mommy Kim
“Kenzo loves his Reading Safari class especially the reading and storytelling!”
"I have personally seen a huge improvement with my 4 year old’s reading skills right after only taking 4 classes/sessions! She practices what she learns in class in our day-to-day conversations! It shows me that she is definitely retaining what she's learning in class. Reading Safari was a great discovery and I'm so happy I learned about them."
- Ms. Edy Liu
