This book has transformed our homeschooling journey. As a mom from Malaysia with a dyslexic child, finding effective reading resources was crucial. The clear explanations and exercises empowered me to teach effectively. Kristina's exceptional support, providing access to supplemental materials promptly and generously, was invaluable. I'm deeply grateful for the positive impact this resource has had on my children's learning journey. Highly recommended!
