MaxScholar Reading Intervention Programs Review


MaxScholar Reading Intervention Programs by MaxScholar are highly structured, phonetic approach to reading instruction that emphasizes phonics, step-by-step instructional approach, and direct teaching of comprehension skills. Hannah used MaxGuru and this is what we have reviewed. This has helped my daughter tremendously. I have noticed that Hannah has shown great improvement in comprehension levels. Even though my daughter doesn’t have dyslexia, I wanted to try MaxScholar Reading Intervention to assist her comprehension skills and speed. I can't recommend it highly enough.




Often Orton-Gillingham is interpreted as a methodology only meant for reading remediation; however, the multi-sensory component impacts all children. The uniqueness of this type of instruction is that it allows the educator to capitalize on an individual student’s dominant learning modality while delivering instruction that will strengthen the remaining learning pathways.  I would suppose this is why my son, who is an avid fast reader, begged to use the program while watching his sister use it.

Orton-Gillingham history: In the 1930’s neurologist Dr. Samuel T. Orton and educator, psychologist Anna Gillingham developed the Orton-Gillingham approach to reading instruction for students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. This theory combines multi-sensory techniques along with the structure of the English language. Those items taught include: phonemes and morphemes, such as prefixes, suffixes, and roots. Common spelling rules are introduced as well. Multi-sensory education incorporates the three learning pathways, which are: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual. This approach is beneficial not only for students with dyslexia, but for all learners. It can be implemented in a large group setting as well as with individuals. MaxScholar Reading Intervention Programs introduce this method with a variety of facets which kept my daughter spending much more time reading and learning new vocabulary words.


Unlike most reading programs nowadays MaxScholar Reading Intervention Programs allowed my daughter to take her time to read. She said she didn’t feel rushed and it allowed her to read at her own pace. She would complete a program and others she could stop and it saved the location and gave her the option to start a new topic or pick up where she left off even it was days later.

Hannah said she would give this program 5 out of 5 stars!  She said she loved all of the topics and the only thing that was a negative is that she felt in the reading section, it asked to highlight words that emphasized the important details and she felt as if this could be left to interpretation.  She thought the stories were fun and interesting. She found the games to be fun and different.  The piano game was her favorite and it made reading fun.  There were a few songs she didn’t know as she doesn’t listen to “Pop” music. 




This program was able to find the key and unlock my daughter’s potential. In less than a few weeks I noticed the MaxScholar Reading Intervention Programs assisted Hannah in making amazing strides in her learning, vocabulary and process of thinking about words. The topics within the MaxReading program are interesting and both of my children enjoyed telling me about what they read and what new ideas they have discovered.
I would recommend any family homeschooling or not, that has a slower reader, reader in trouble, or dyslexia should look very closely at this program.
