Step 1: Go to our homepage at www.learningupgrade.com and click “Free Trial” on one of the orange course boxes. Select “Home Free Trial“.
Step 2: Fill out the trial submission form to create a username and password. On this page you can specify which course you would like to try. Once you’ve created a username and password, you will be prompted to log-in with this information.
Step 3: When you log-in, you will see the student menu. This will show the student you have enrolled and information regarding their trial course. You can click “Start” to play the trial, or click “Buy!” if you would like to purchase the course. You can also add extra free trials in this menu.

FAQ Friday: Will Learning Upgrade Courses Work on an Ipad?

Q: Will Learning Upgrade Courses Work on an Ipad?
A: Yes and No
Our courses will not play at present on the iPads (or iPhones) Safari browser because Apple will not allow Adobe Flash to be installed on these devices. However, there is a free app that will allow you to play Learning Upgrade, and any other flash based product, straight from your Apple mobile device. The app is called Rover, and is available through the Apple App Store.
Without using Rover, teachers can use iPads to enroll students or view most reports, just not play the courses themselves. Note that Android phones and tablets, and the new Amazon Kindle Fire, etc. will play our courses fine, as they support Adobe Flash player.
Testimonial: A Very Thankful Mom
February 17, 2012 By Leave a Comment
My 9 year old autistic son was not reading when we were told by the school psychologist about Reading Upgrade. We put Alex on the program at home and in a short time he was above other students his age in reading. The program was exciting, engaging, and paced just right. There has never been a need to remind him to do his levels. Anyone who has a child with PDD/Autism will know this in itself is nothing short of miraculous. Thank you so much for such an awesome program. Alex has gone from no hope to a great reader thanks to Learning Upgrade programs.
A Very Thankful Mom,
