"Thank you for making such a program such as 'StudyDog Reading Program' available for parents. I am currently using this program with my son, who is four years old. He loves the program and wants to play/learn all the time. He even whines when I tell him that it's time to stop playing for awhile. I want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for this program. A teacher gave me this site. We love your program and would hope that if there is another for older kids -- my daughter is eight -- that you would please e-mail the site to me. Thanks again."
