Before being accepted into the program, students need to know the alphabet letters in the correct order and be able to speak English. During the program: 1.  Students are required to be prompt.  For in-house students, parents are welcome to sit in on the classes or relax in our living room. If parents choose to leave the premises during the lesson, they must return promptly to pick up the student. 2.  Students are required to spend 5 minutes a day reviewing their rule cards. 3.  Parents are required to spend a minimum of 15 minutes a day reading with their child.  In the beginning, the parent will do the reading as the child follows along; later, the child will be doing most of the reading.  Reading material is at the parent's discretion but should be of interest to the child.  If a parent cannot make this commitment for at least four days of the week, then another program may be better suited for their needs. 4.  Your money and our time is valuable.  If a student is consistently unfocused or inattentive during class, the parent or instructor may cancel future lessons.  Any money paid for unused lesson time will be refunded.
