Weird to set up, but very effective
The functionality of the app is effective. First the kid reads a passage, then is asked true comprehension questions. The fact that the passage is still on the screen when the questions are asked promotes re-reading, which is a great skill at this age. The content was very likely written by an educator, and keeps my son engaged. His teacher has remarked that they are already seeing improvement. That being said, the interface is really bulky and not intuitive, and the set-up is flat-out stupid. To set it up, you first add an admin log-in (I used my first name), then it asked for my email, then it took me back to the home screen. Then you add the kids by entering their names and pressing “add user”. Once logged in, the kid presses “table of contents”, picks a chapter, reads the passage, then presses “questions” to answer the comprehension questions. To check their answers, I think they press “chapter complete”. This allows them to progress. Lastly, this app simply doesn’t work well on phones. The smaller screens cuts off the comprehension questions, and there is no scrolling function for them. Use an iPad for a much better experience.
United StatesNot real
You need to refund my money! This app does not work!!!
United StatesHorrible
They make it extremely difficult to use ... And yes I PAID FOR IT!
United StatesFake app!
Keep ask me login and input admin mail, totally fake! Don't buy it!
United StatesA lot of value!!!
This app really helps my 3rd grader prepare for the reading guarantee. A lot of stories for the money too. I like all of the information it gave me in the terms of what type of questions he missed. I can't overstate the educational value in this app.
United StatesLots to like
I like that the reading level and questions are at grade level. And since I am a former teacher, I like that the questions are labeled and you can see them. This is important for building skills And if I were still teaching ,because of the way the non fiction is constructed( compare / contrast : cause/ effect, etc.) I would use this app to help build writing skills. Overall great find.
United StatesThanks
A great tool for learning and easy to use.
