What Makes This Program Special
A: RPOD is designed for caregivers of children aged 4–6 who are not yet reading or are experiencing early reading challenges.
A: As a caregiver, you are expected to complete the weekly lessons with your child(ren) at home before access to the course ends.
A: The program is 10 lessons. It is estimated that caregivers will spend an average of 90 minutes per week working through weekly lessons with their child(ren). However, RPOD is designed so that you can move through the materials at your pace, based on the needs of your child.
A: Yes! During registration, you can let us know if you'll be participating with more than one child—as long as each child is between 4–6 years old and would benefit from extra support in learning to read.
Between your Lit Kit and the RPOD platform, you have everything you need to participate in the program with one child or multiple children. Since the platform is made up of instructional videos, you can start and stop each lesson as needed to make sure each child gets the attention they need in order to learn.

A: The recommended duration for completing this program is 10 weeks. However, you will have access for 20 weeks after you begin the program.
A: After registration closes and we’ve reviewed all applications, we’ll send you an email with everything you need to get started on the online learning platform.
