Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Professional guidance helps You can open the kit and start without a professional. But this is a teaching program, not a single tool, so it works best when a teacher or reading specialist helps choose the starting point and guide the lessons. That makes professional guidance a strong help rather than a requirement.
