I received the My Virtual Tutor: Reading 1st Grade to 2nd Grade. I’d have chosen the My Virtual Tutor: Reading Pre-K to Kindergarten if I knew this was available since my son is a toddler. However, the one that I received will still come in handy when my son starts the 1st Grade. I will be buying the My Virtual Tutor: Reading Pre-K to Kindergarten version since I don’t want to overwhelm him too much with something that is more advanced than his current reading level. 🙂
