Testimonials

My son breezes through each lesson. He’s usually done in 15 minutes and I can already tell a difference. He doesn’t feel overwhelmed or tired, and he hasn’t complained once. I’ve also noticed that he is picking up on the new words even faster now."

– Patricia F.

After being completely stuck for nearly two years in his reading progress, finally we are moving forward! Today he picked up Hop on Pop, and Go, Dog. Go! and read them with little assistance from me and with joy. I am so grateful."

– Tricia R.

My son was older, and we had made some progress with him initially but had stalled out. I couldn’t figure it out. With this program he’s enjoying reading the stories on his own and feels more confident and relaxed each week. Now he’s even willing and able to do it with no melt downs. That’s huge in my book."

– Alexis K.

My only regret is that this program wasn’t available sooner. Happy Cheetah Reading has literally changed our lives so much that I want to stand at every store and convention and shout, “THIS ONE, GET THIS ONE!” “LOOK NO FURTHER!” SERIOUSLY, THIS IS IT!” “YOUR SEARCH IS OVER!” “STOP FIGHTING, IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE EASY!” “THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!”

– JORDAN H.

We tried every spelling and reading curriculum we could get our hands on, thinking maybe we could just find the right one. By the time he was eight, we were desperate and scared. Then we found Happy Cheetah Reading. It was literally as if someone had turned a light on in his brain. We had wasted so much time fighting and trying to use materials that just don’t work. Under this program our son, who is now 9, is reading."

– CASEY Y.

We had tried three other programs and none of them offered what we needed, and he didn’t enjoy them. It was a battle every day. This is the first program I have seen that combines visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning in such a seamless way. In the past four months, my son went from barely being able to read to now reading everything in sight! His handwriting went from being jagged and barely readable, to uniform and clear!"
