My son, Braxton, struggled with reading in first grade. After spending a significant amount of money at a well-known tutoring center in our community for six months, he continued to face challenges. Desperate to help him, I reached out to Ms. Penny at "Promise to Read," and she quickly arranged for an after-school tutoring assessment. After completing the assessment, she recommended that he attend four sessions per week for eight weeks. The cost was less than the tutoring center, and the one-on-one environment felt welcoming.
Braxton began attending "Promise to Read" after-school tutoring with Ms. Penny, and I noticed an immediate improvement in his handwriting after just the first session. Within a few weeks, his confidence grew, and by the end of the program, he was not only excited but also reading at grade level. His teacher was amazed by his progress.
Thank you, Ms. Penny!
I was told that my son, Anthony, had a disability, which was why he couldn’t read after completing second grade. Not fully convinced by the medical diagnosis, my husband and I decided to call Ms. Penny at “Promise to Read.” She assessed Anthony and said, “I’m not a doctor, but I don’t see any disabilities at all. All I see is shyness and a lack of confidence.”
We enrolled him in her summer "Promise to Read" program, and after just a couple of weeks, he became more verbal and self-confident. As he continued learning, his reading skills blossomed. As a mother, I had tears of joy in my eyes when I saw my son read for the first time, happily.
The way Ms. Penny communicates with children is amazing—it's truly a gift. I highly recommend anyone with a child struggling to read to call her; you’ll never regret it. When Anthony started third grade, the disability records were erased. Not only does he now read extremely well, but he’s also an A student in all subjects.
Thank you, Ms. Penny!
Our daughter, Indira, who was 4 going on 5, attended Ms. Penny’s preschool class, which was her final year of teaching “at-home preschool”. In just two months, Indira learned to read and write—an achievement that left our whole family astonished. Ms. Penny’s teaching approach is truly remarkable. The colorful take-home worksheets she provided demonstrated a level of learning that was unlike anything I’d ever seen before. Not only did Indira quickly learn to read, but she also became skilled at writing stories, telling time on an analog clock, and mastering basic addition and subtraction. We were thrilled with the education she received. When Indira was tested in kindergarten, she was reading well above her grade level. I highly recommend Ms. Penny’s “Promise to Read” tutoring program to any parent whose child is struggling to learn to read. The progress is fast, and you’ll be amazed by the results.
Our son was struggling with reading in 3rd grade, so we were recommended to enroll him in Ms. Penny’s summer literacy program, "Promise to Read." From the moment we met her, her warm, calming presence made both my son and me feel at ease. After assessing him, she confidently assured us that she could help. Just two months later, our son was reading! When he returned to school, his teachers were astonished by his progress and asked what program helped him improve so quickly and effectively. We proudly told them it was Ms. Penny’s "Promise to Read" program. They mentioned hearing about Ms. Penny’s success with past students entering kindergarten as confident readers, which they said was a great thing. If you're feeling frustrated or discouraged because your young child isn't reading yet, don't give up— I wholeheartedly recommend Ms. Penny’s "Promise to Read" program 100%! You will be satisfied.
From birth, my daughter Shekinah showed rapid development, just like her siblings. However, toward the end of first grade, I noticed she was struggling with reading and felt ashamed. Her brothers had been reading since kindergarten, so I became worried and concerned about Shekinah not being able to read yet. I know it’s not ideal to compare siblings, but growing up, she was just as bright as they were. I asked her teacher why she hadn’t learned to read, and the teacher reassured me that Shekinah would be fine and catch up in second grade, just like many kids do. But that didn’t sit well with me. So, I turned to Ms. Penny for help over the summer before Shekinah started second grade. After testing her, Ms. Penny identified a small issue that she could fix in just a few weeks, and she did. Now, my daughter is happy, loves to read, and excels as an A student in all subjects. We are so thankful for you, Ms. Penny, and give all the credit to you and God for your incredible gift!
"After having my child tested—who was not yet able to read—I enrolled her in the 'Promise to Read' tutoring program. The program promised a full refund if my child didn’t make significant progress in reading after 36 or less consecutive sessions (9 weeks). However, that wasn’t necessary because she was reading very well by the end. Thank you, Ms. Penny!"
