Why Buy Funetics?
Because building a strong foundation for reading success is the single most important thing you can do for your child
There are countless studies that document the importance of the first 8 years of a child’s life are critical to their future academic (and professional) success. Research shows that children who start Kindergarten on solid footing are more likely to do better in school academically and less likely to repeat grades or be placed in special education services. What's more, the study shows that these students ultimately increase their earnings capacity as adults!
Students who struggle in school often wind up needing tutoring services – these can cost anywhere from $80 per month to $50 per hour – families spend an average of $400 per year to help their children catch up when they get off track. When you add up the middle and high school years, that can total nearly $2500 per child.
