Ok, as much as i like reading sometimes, i read fast. But. Reading plus apparently hates fast readers, as the title says. Im a minor in grade 7, almost grade 8, and it won't let me read fast whatsoever. It took me days just to get by the first test on this thing, and it was fine, but now its just rude. Like, make it so that if someone reads fast, then accept it.

Its tedious boring and has countless flaws a petition needs to be made to remove it from schools in return for something better a physical book would be a better alternative in my opinion and any other student I ask will say the same

There are some great non-fiction stories on this website, but there really are not enough fiction stories. Sure, there are some, but they are all about ancient Greek mythology and other historical topics. Think of what a child would want to read about. Try to make it entertaining, something action packed with emotive language. Make it interesting. Here are some possible genres that children and young adults are interested in:
Sci-fi
Adventure
Video games (and the dangers that they can have)

Make the stories RELATABLE
All of these things should be considered, so kids understand that reading can be fun.

It doesn't help, it doesn't work, and nobody likes it. All the stories are unpalatable which makes it hard to keep along with the stories, so you get a low level.

Hate it
April 4, 2022

Reading plus is terrible, boring, frustrating, and annoying (to name a few). It contains many grammatical and spelling related errors. I hate Reading plus and I don't know one person who disagrees.

I HATE READING PLUS
March 4, 2022

Reading plus is very boring, doesn't help my reading, and is overallly just a trashy site. The stories suck, and the vocab has no purpose, and who cares if you can read a "c" or not? I hate reading plus, and I think you would too, if you had to do it.

I hate this
February 25, 2022

This website is so annoyingly horrible. It gives uninteresting stories that take a long time to read, and if you fail one, you have to start over again, reading another freakishly long story. Normally, you will have to read 3 to 5 stories every week, which is crazy. Reading plus is such a bad website, that i would rather read a book on the entire history of the universe than use reading plus. Also, ratio.

It sucks
February 22, 2022

This website is absolute garbage, now me not being an immature 5th grader am going to tell you something. This site is BS do NOT buy this crappy website under any circumstances, For one, The stories are incredibly boring, and I honestly have my eyes closing automatically, I am and INCREDIBLY fast reader, and it feels incredibly mundane having to read like a turtle. It should be taken down, no wonder this BS of a site has 1.3 stars, the teaches are literally ignorant about this crap and they just straight up don't care, BUT then again. How will this review change anything?
