Testimonials
"Last year a fellow colleague introduced me to the I Can Fly Reading and Blast off to Reading program. Since then I have recommended it to everyone working with students. I use the app daily to reinforce the lesson plans in the book. My students have their own workbook that they enjoy using. The app gives my students endless practice. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have it."
Deanne Lakatos - OG Practitioner
"Blast Off to Reading is an amazing instructional tool that I use with students. The lessons help my struggling readers focus on letter/sound relationships, vowels, etc. The games, especially the b, d reversal games, really help and are so enjoyable my students forget that they're learning at the same time!"
Dawn Campbell - ME and also working toward OG cert.
My son has dyslexia and has struggled with reading. I have tried several programs and so far this has been the best one!
The games make the program engaging and fun while learning how to read. I am now having my other son do the program as well
just to solidify the foundations. Great program. Thank you for caring about those that struggle and finding new ways to learn.
- A very thankful homeschooling mama."Micheline Garfin

Allison Verschueren - Teacher, BS, MsED, NBCT

Melissa Dopheide, Parent
"It's a great resource. Kids and teenagers learn easily with this program. As a learning specialist I can observe their improvement in reading and writing daily. I surely recommend every program!" Paola Castro, ME
"I have been using the I Can Fly and Blast Off to Reading workbooks for years with amazing results. This year I finally tried the online resources to use with my online clients during cover 19 and absolutely love them and so do all my clients!!"
Samantha Tremaine - Master's in Childhood Education, Orton Gillingham Trained
"Blast Off has been absolutely WONDERFUL for my grandson. In kindergarten he found it very frustrating to read and was diagnosed with dyslexia. BlastOff games provided him with a fun way to learn phonics in a mode that he could relate to—computer or cell phone! Every week I saw him and he wanted to play BlastOff games. I asked him to say the words out loud so that I could hear his progress and I would play with him and also say the words aloud. We took turns for who would play the alien. We also worked in the BlastOff workbook a few pages at a time so he would look forward to it the next time. Thank you, BlastOff." Betsy, grandma to dyslexic grandson
