We help you help your child to “stand a little taller”, but don't just take our word for it...

"My 4 year old daughter did not want to go to school – she wanted to just have fun! She could not say 'g', 'k', 'r', or 'l' and I didn't want to push reading…she was too little. Michelle is my friend and neighbor and I decided to do reading school to support her- to my delight and Miriam's joy- "Nothin' But the BEST!" reading class was SO fun! Within three months Miriam was speaking correctly AND reading phonetically!! We would do it again in a heart beat! And we can now highly recommend Michelle as a teacher AND a wonderful, nurturing and loving person."

"Julia has really enjoyed her time in "Nothin' But the BEST!". She loves going to class and learning her letters and sounds. Not only has she begun to read three letter words, she has also gained the confidence to try to read anything.

"I love the small class size and the focus on learning rather than just play time. I would recommend "Nothin' But the BEST!", with Michelle Corbin to anyone."
– Tamela Blake

"Since Lanie has taken this class, she had more confidence in her reading ability and she loves to read. She's only taken the 1st class (1st Step to reading), and looks forward to taking the 2nd class (2nd Step to reading) where she can learn even more. She is always reading very well and loves the games, the little reader books with Taf and Tom. She reads them to her friends. Her Kindergarten teacher thinks she is one of the smartest kids in her class! She always talks about Taf and Tom (the characters), and draws pictures of them all of the time."

"We have been using, and loving, Joyfully Read!, here at Liahona Elementary in our K through 2nd grades!! It gives our beginning readers a thorough, complete, and fun introduction to reading. The children totally enjoy the program, take such ownership of their learning and progress, and are advancing in their skills at a remarkable rate. Even the more advanced readers are picking up skills they had missed in other programs and are becoming much better at decoding and spelling. This program is both student and teacher friendly and lends itself to one on one instruction or large group lessons. Our parents are thrilled with their childrens' progress and excitement in learning to read!"

"If you have any doubts about having your children be great readers, you have got to send them to "Nothin' But the BEST!". Michelle has many years of experience in teaching children to read. But the talent that is unique to her is her love for children and her ability to figure out what it is that will best help them learn to read and feel confidence. My son was very timid and shy in learning situations. Michelle's class has helped him gain confidence that has spilled over into every area of his life. His soccer coach has even noticed a difference in his ability to interact and I attribute that success to Michelle's tutoring. Since after the first day of class my son has been excited to go to reading class. She makes it fun, with games, encouragement and laughter. You will not be disappointed. I have a 10 year old that started his reading career at 5 years old with Michelle. He is now my most avid reader. If you want your children to be great readers. I don't know any better way than this."

"My 5 year old had been struggling with her phonics lessons all through kindergarten. And she hated her lessons! After a few weeks with "Nothin' But the BEST!" preschool reading class she was asking to play the games, sing the songs and practice reading."

"My 4 year old has thrived with this curriculum. Not only does she have a solid foundation for reading but she has had so much fun that she loves to 'do school'."

"Michelle's approach (JoyFully Read!) is fun and interactive. She is patient and kind. My children absolutely love her and feel safe making mistakes and learning with her. She also lets me know what my girls struggle with, where they are excelling, and how I can help them at home. This has been a great experience for our whole family."
