Success Stories - JoyFully Read!

I had all the help I needed to start my center! The training was very thorough so I felt prepared and confident from the moment my first student came through the door. The hardest part about having my own center is getting new students, but Michelle has helped me out with any questions I have. It has been great to make my own hours and be a stay at home mom thanks to my opportunity to work from home just a couple hours a day. The perfect job for me is working with JoyFully Read!™

Being a Center Owner has opened up an avenue of opportunities. I’ve enjoyed getting acquainted with new people. It’s been such a privilege to help these young people who need help; to give them the building blocks of reading and see their confidence levels change.

I’ve witnessed many frustrated mothers come to me saying, “I’ve worked and worked with my Johnny, but he just doesn’t get it.” After working with “Johnny,” we’re amazed to see how JoyFully Read!™ clicks, retention starts, and progress occurs.

I’ve enjoyed being a Reading Center Owner and recommend it to others because it’s an awesome way to earn money and I can set my own hours. As a Center Owner, I am providing a much-needed service, which has been very rewarding to me.

This is the absolute best reading program around! It has exceeded my expectations for my children. They love going, and have developed an excitement and confidence in reading. Michelle creates a loving, upbeat, and happy atmosphere. She is so patient and one of the dearest, kindest people I know.We truly love Joyfully Read, Michelle and all the tutors there as well. Thank you thank you thank you for everything! I will continue with each of my children in this program and will continue to recommend to everyone I know with complete confidence!

I had the opportunity to meet Michelle and her team last summer. They then came to our school and trained us as teachers to use the Joyfully Read program. It was such a boost to our kindergarten curriculum. My students (every single one of them) progressed at rates that delighted me and their parents! I have taught kindergarten for the past 10 years and this bunch of sweeties were my strongest readers yet!

I have yet to recommend joyfully read to someone who didn’t love it as much as we do. They have helped my children build the knowledge they need to become strong and confident in their reading. In addition to building skills my children feel loved and cared about when they attend class. I will send all 4 of my children through this program without a doubt.

This program is amazing! My daughter has struggled to read for years. We were recommended by a close family friend about Michelle’s program and couldn’t thank her enough. Our Georgia loves to read books now. Not only is Michelle an amazing teacher, she is a very dear friend of mine. We love you Michelle thank you for everything!

We loved Joyfully Read! My kids loved going and the teachers were amazing! We highly recommend them to anyone whose child needs additional help with reading or if you just want to give your child a boost during the year or the summer months between grades.

My son started 8 weeks ago not really knowing his letters and sounds. He now knows them all. This has really helped him out to get ready to read. I would definitely recommend this program. The drop off and pick up is convenient as well.

Joyfully Read has taught my daughter to read! She is 4 and reading at a kindergarten level. She loves to go to "class"each week and can't wait to find out who is teaching her that day! We all have loved the experience and i will be using them again with my other children.

I am loving joyfully read and their service. Since taking my daughter here, her reading fluency and speed have improved drastically. Her confidence, enjoyment, and excitement of reading has sky rocketed. We just started 5 weeks ago and we are excited to see her in the future continue to improve.

My daughter was a junior in high school and was struggling with the reading section on the ACT. She spent the summer working on the joyfully read program. It was a great experience that gave her more confidence in reading and helped her increase her score on the ACT!

I have both of my children at Joyfully Read and they love it! They are always excited to come to class! The staff are so friendly and great with the kids! The reading program is very effective and fun at the same time. Both of my kids went up a grade level just after 5 weeks! I have been very impressed and very happy with their accomplishments! Strongly recommend Joyfully Read!

Joyfully Read not only helped my boy learn to read better they helped him build confidence. I recommend Joyfully Read for all ages. My boy was starting 6th grade when we started and they helped him achieve his goals and pass language arts for the year. Thank you to all his tutors Josh, Michelle, and Madison!

We’ve had great results and have benefitted from the tutoring program so much. My kids have enjoyed reading more and have already progressed so much in a short amount of time. We are fans of joyfully read!!

My son has been doing the Joyfully Read program for almost 2 years now, and we have loved it! We started when he was 4 years old, before kindergarten, and he’s doing very well. He has all 4’s (highest he can get) in all subjects at school. His teacher says he is above reading level for kindergarten and actually has to stop him on his tests from doing so well so he can show “improvement” on his next tests so the district sees he is improving. She says he’s one of the top readers in his class! Joyfully Read has given my son the confidence he needs to feel smart and succeed in school.

I purchased this program last year for my child who was struggling with reading. Immediately within the first few weeks we saw improvements not only in his reading but in his confidence. I am extremely grateful for choosing this program for my homeschool, and would recommend to anyone who is looking for an easy to follow and successful reading program for your struggling reader. Thank you Joyfully Read!

I am a tutor for Joyfully Read! I recently finished my certification in all of the steps, and I LOVE this job. The help that Michelle(the owner/developer) has given me is amazing, and all the people that I have met through this program(parents, students, and felow tutors)have been so kind and uplifting. I have loved watching the confidence of my students grow. I recommend tutor training to anyone that enjoys teaching kids and making a difference! I'm so excited to teach my kids with this program someday!

Joyfully reading has been great for my little one. When my little first started she was very in secure about her reading I will even say she was even developing low less esteem. After joining joyfully reading she was change so much, she now enjoys reading and she’s always looking forward to meet with her tutor they are the BEST. .

When my 5th grader was not testing well, and I was tired of hearing 'oh, it will click for her soon,' I started looking for help. Joyful Read has changed her for the better. In less than a year she has tested up 4-5 grade levels. When her end of year testing came, she did awesome! All of her work and progress could be seen in her results. Her confidence to do well in school has grown and we couldn't be more pleased. The teachers are kind and fun, and my daughter looks forward to her lessons!

We have loved joyfully read! This program helped my daughter get to grade level, and even advance 2 grades. Most importantly this program has given her confidence in her reading and reading in group situations. We love Mr C!

The program and tutors at JoyFully Read are miracle workers! Our daughter started a little less than a year ago and has progressed through 5 reading levels! She loves to read now and will be right on track with her grade once summer is over. We could not have helped our daughter be this successful this quickly without JoyFully Read.
