How much time does PAL take?

The PAL Reading will require about 30 minutes of your time each day you do it, and another 30-60 minutes of your student’s time to do his things with some, but not always significant, supervision.
The PAL Writing will take about 30 minutes of your day. It also includes a brief discussion of a story every day. You can use any story you are reading to your child, so it works will with anything you are already doing.
As with most programs, your first week or two will likely require more time, but as you get it running, it does not take much time to maintain.
Using the PAL Reading, your child will likely be reading after just a few months. At that point, less time will need to be spent on the Reading, so you can spend a little more time on the PAL Writing Composition section when you get to it. However, it won’t really cost you any more time in the long run.
