2023 Learn to Read Program Reviews

K5 Learning

• $23.95 per year for individuals.

K5 Learning has been around for 11 years. While they are not a website that will help children learn to read, they do offer supplemental work to use with other instruction. They offer worksheets for 7 subjects as well as the option to purchase additional workbooks for some subjects. The subjects include math, reading, science, grammar, vocabulary, spelling and cursive.

Pay a la carte or get a membership

At K5 Learning, workbooks vary in price from $1.70 to $68. They offer access to some of their worksheets for free if you want to try some without paying. Alternately, you can choose to subscribe: it is one of the more affordable ones at only $23.95 per year and gives you access to more worksheets, no ads, sharing to Google Classroom, the ability to separate questions and answers, download complete sets of worksheets, and exclusive content. Parents and teachers will also gain access to a free ebook How To Help Your Kids Succeed In School. If you're interested in giving K5 Learning a try, you can sign up and cancel for a full refund within 7 days.

Updated website is a plus

The K5 Learning website was remastered in 2021, and we were able to navigate it with ease. Prior to the update, K5 Learning had received some negative reviews based on their higher price for a membership, parents having to select lessons each day instead of the program selecting the lessons, and material not appropriate for the designated grade level. Since the website update, we haven't spotted any current negative reviews.

Parents and teachers are pleased with this program

The testimonials on the K5 Learning website are positive. The National Parenting Center describes it as a great website to keep your child on their academic toes. A teacher left a review stating that her students loved the program. They worked on it after school and from home - and they wanted to use it during the school day too. A mom said that each program was created for every individual child and their needs, letting them work at their particular skill level. A former educator looked at K5 Learning and found the website extremely useful for both parents and teachers especially with the option to share to Google Classroom.

"A+" BBB grade

Another positive fact worth noting is that the BBB has given K5 Learning an "A+" rating, so they have an exceptional reputation. The only complaint filed with the BBB was from someone who purchased a digital download and wasn't able to get a refund. K5 Learning responded to the review that it is in their terms to not refund digital downloads.

Worth giving it a try

Overall, K5 Learning appears to have come a long way and is a great additional resource for families. They offer a wonderful option if you are looking to supplement school learning or keep your children's minds sharp over summer and holiday breaks. We recommend taking advantage of the 7-day refund period to see if K5 Learning works for you, risk-free.
