What families are saying

Real words from real families teaching their kids to read with Bright & Brilliant.

Having dyslexia, this program hasn’t just given me the confidence I needed to teach my kids how to read, it has shown me that teaching my kids can be fun for the both of us. I was nervous that I was even capable of teaching my children to read, but Bright & Brilliant completely changed my perspective. What once felt difficult has become incredibly rewarding.

Not only is it amazing to watch my child learn to read, but it has also been special for me to grow as a parent and learn to enjoy the process of teaching. Bright & Brilliant has had a huge influence on our home and our approach to reading. It has brought so much light into our family and helped us develop a positive attitude toward reading by making it easy and fun.

The extension activities have given us countless ways to learn beyond sitting at a table with a book and pencil. They make learning playful and engaging and have opened up a whole new world of reading for our family.

We’re big fans of the music app! We absolutely love the music in the program. We play the songs all the time, and they’ve become a favorite in our home, and not just for the child using the program, but for my older and younger children as well.

I love the structure of the program. Every time I open it, I know exactly what we’re doing. I don’t have to spend time planning or figuring things out, I can just sit down, follow the manual, and enjoy learning together.

The parent-child connection is the most special part of Bright & Brilliant. It’s incredibly empowering to know that when I open the program, I’m opening an opportunity to create a positive experience with my little boy. That’s where much of the program’s true power lies for me…not just in teaching reading, but in creating fun, uplifting moments together. Those are the memories that are worth every penny.

I love how positive the program is. The encouraging messages, the fun activities, and the interactive lessons bring so much light into the learning process. It creates opportunities for parents and children to connect in a lasting way while learning to read together.

In a world that can feel harsh and judgmental and with so much pressure on children to read and achieve from such a young age, this program is truly special. It shows that learning doesn’t have to be a high-pressure situation. It can be fun, engaging, relationship-building, and still help children develop academically in a positive, encouraging, and uplifting way.

Bright & Brilliant is more than just a reading program… it’s a huge gift to families, kids, and parents. Thank you for creating something so special to have in my home for my kids and future grandkids!

As a dad, I really appreciate how interactive this reading program is. It keeps my kids engaged and makes learning to read fun instead of frustrating. The activities hold their attention, and I’ve seen a lot more confidence and excitement around reading at home. Worth every penny.

As a former elementary school teacher I know how important a solid reading foundation is and as a parent of young kids I know how hard it is to find something that is engaging, easy to follow and includes music that doesn’t drive you nuts. Bright and Brilliant is such a beautiful program that helps you and your child excel in reading while also having fun and making sweet memories together. It has easy to follow instructions for both parent and child and makes the learning process fun and engaging with games, music and more as your child learns to read. This investment in your child’s reading is worth every penny and will set your child up for a very successful future.

From skeptical to shocked! I'm not the most patient and would never consider myself a “teacher,” but this curriculum taught my preschooler to read in one summer (with no meltdowns from either of us 😅)

The lessons are simple and manageable, just 20 minutes a day, 3 to 4 days a week. Everything is adorable, the characters are so cute, and the songs are actually fun (and will get stuck in your head in the best way!). We both genuinely looked forward to it, which says a lot.

I was blown away by how user-friendly it is. My son started kindergarten already reading, and I’ll definitely be using this again with my younger son next year!

Because I started Bright & Brilliant before [my son] started school, he feels confident in his class. He believes that he is smart… Bright & Brilliant made it easy to teach him. It was really nice to never have to prep anything, and just have a cute and engaging lesson ready to go. When he started reading to me more fluently, rather than needing to sound out every letter every time, I felt very impressed with his progress and proud of both of us. Before [Bright & Brilliant], he was really hesitant to read words to me in books that I was reading to him, but now…he asks if he can read books to me.

Some days he would remind me to do his lesson for the day! He loved the music. He would be singing it around the house randomly and ask to play it when we weren’t doing lessons. I loved the songs too! These [lessons] feel different from other learning activities because they are infused with love. Each lesson has built-in reminders to help your child feel appreciated and noticed and like you’re proud of them. It brought us closer together to have all of this time spent in loving, learning, and connecting. I love being able to teach him things that I know will help him for the rest of his life. [Bright & Brilliant] is one hundred percent worth the investment to give your child the skill of reading wrapped with love.

We love Bright & Brilliant! There is such thought in every single detail, and it has turned out to be the perfect teaching tool that also brings fun into our home. I am so impressed at how this has been put together. The songs that go with the lessons and the stories for each letter are just adorable. My son loves putting the sticker on the alphabet village chart after each lesson. And he feels SO special to do “his lesson.” The lessons are not too long at all, and it is created in a way that it is easy for a mom of little kids to teach it without having to take a whole bunch of time to prepare to teach it. It truly is bright and brilliant and I am so glad that we chose it for our little guy! If you are like me, and want to teach your child in the home while they’re still so little, this is the perfect way to do it, and you and your kiddo will end each lesson with a smile on your face!

Bright and Brilliant has helped my son tremendously! He is now well above his grade level in his ability to read and write! As a father whose patience and ability to teach is well below average, it was very intimidating at first to teach my son to read. Bright and Brilliant made it easy!

Before beginning Bright & Brilliant, I had no idea where to start, but I knew I didn’t want to wait until school or wholly rely on school teachers to do all the work. Before we started, she could read her name and that was pretty much it. Now she has a solid foundation of all the letter sounds and can read short stories independently. Just a few weeks in, I remember being so impressed that she could already blend sounds into words with the letter sounds we’d learned so far. And now I have so many resources to help her continue strengthening her reading skills.

Bright & Brilliant is much more fun than other curriculum we’ve tried, and I love that we get to do it together so I know exactly what she’s working on and can help and encourage her. The songs and activities are top notch (my daughter especially loves the ones where she gets to glue!)

Having every lesson plan so organized was incredibly helpful. The step-by-step lessons are easy to follow, and each lesson includes so many great activities. We love the songs, the activities, and honestly I think the extension activity ideas alone would be worth the money.

She loves the music, and I think the songs are cute and fun too. I don’t get sick of the music like I do with other kids songs. Her two-year-old brother already recognizes some of the letter sounds because of the songs! I think he’ll be excited to learn when it’s his turn. The built-in reward systems help so much, and we’ve done some fun things as a family that I don’t think we would have done otherwise.

Bright & Brilliant is so worth the investment. The progress is real! I want to set my child up for success in school, and I’m so glad I have Bright & Brilliant to help get us there.

It seems way overwhelming to teach your child to read on your own, but with Bright & Brilliant, you don’t have to.

Bright and Brilliant has been such an amazing tool as I’ve taught my daughter her letters, sounds, and how to read. It made the process feel simple and fun! She looked forward to her lessons and the goals she was reaching, and she felt proud of herself every step of the way☀️
