Reading PlusReviews 359

This is insulting, there is disinformation and doesn't teach reading in a good way. There is something in it called g-rate (guide rate) where it has a set window of where you can read that is not complimentary to readers who read a certain way other than theirs which isn't as efficient as most other advanced reading techniques. About propaganda, they would give percentages to data without giving any relevant information on why the data portrays the way they portray it.

My school makes me do this they have no good stories and i don't want to read more me and my friend hate this

At least i only have to 2 a week but this is horrible whats the point of doing this why cant we read actual books not these boring disgraces to literature

My child's school does reading plus and its so boring. It hasn't even improved thieir reading or their vocabulary. So please spend your time on other things RP devs because all the kids hate this app and I do too. Everyday my children come home in anger because they have their stupid reading plus assignments.

I am force to do 6 lessons a week and i f I do not do it i get in bover plus look at the ratings this is truely $#*! and I hate it

I have 7 classes to work on and I have to do 4 lessons of this every day of the week. I don't like this website.

Honestly, this is the laziest and most boring cash grab of all time. Schools who make children do this are basically dicators. The stories are really boring, and even the fiction is boring! How do you mess up fiction?! Anywho, the stories are basically "How metal is made" or "Watching cement dry: the novel" It feels like a robot created these stories, and doing the lessons feel like a chore. If their goal is to make children to enjoy reading, they are failing desparetly. Do not buy this.

If were'e being honest this website is not the greatest for busy, young, kids/teens who are struggling with enough work as it is. I'm in 7th grade and can tell you this doesn't work in my experience and would rather read a book and do a book report after.

I don't like Reading Plus. It is so boring! There is nothing good to read about. Do not pay for Reading Plus, NOT WORTH IT! Don't even mention buying it. It's horrible.

%@#$ this app is soooo bad it doesn't even help with reading. The books are so boring and lame also.!$@#% this it takes an hour to finish one book. This is what i think about it. $%###@!@#$#@#$#@!~@#$@!#$#@!@#@$#@@!%$%#@@^%!%##$#$#@@##$$%$!$#%!@%$!$@#%#. There please don't use teachers.

It is so boring! It does not help reading or vocabulary what so ever! It's a waist of time and money! I hate it! So my class does thi every day except for like 3 day weeks or so what but, from when we started to the middle of the year our scores went down, proving my point that this dumb website doesn't help.

My English teacher is forcing me to do this for a major grade. My name, i won't say, because i want to keep it private. This is (name and address withheld), a soon to be game developer, and a student.
Sigh.
Ok, so let's not prevaricate about the bush any more than i have to. This site is trash. All of it. (I meant reading plus, not sitejabber)
I'm a fast reader, and yet, it doesn't seem to recognize. It keeps giving me the slow down messages, and it keeps frustrating me! There's no way to even change this so it doesn't do that!
The stories are boring as crap, and you can't reread, which defeats the purpose of reading plus.
I found a glitch that lets me keep my rereads in tests, whatever they're called.
Some answers just look like they should be correct, but they aren't, which is bullcrap, because their so called correct answer looks so similar to an incorrect answer!
Why is 70-79% not considered passing? I mean, i get that it's not a good grade, but still!
This site doesn't have any topics that are even CLOSE to interesting! Seriously, where are the video game topics?
Why do you even bother "locking" stories? It's just pointless! It's not like i'm going to be interested in those stories anyways! It's even worse, because it'll anger those who ARE interested in the stories, (not me, of course!) so it's a double whammy of anger!
There seems to be some sort of bot accounts that are answering these reviews with replies that seem to be basically saying the SAME EXACT THING! (I'm not related to this business... heck no, I wouldn't bother joining this company no matter what!)
Overall, don't even bother CONSIDERING using this site as an option! There's nothing fun about it, (except reading these reviews) and it's just worthless compared to the superior (and usually cheaper!) options out there!
I'd rather play prodigy (which i actually unironically like) than torture myself with this site.

Tip for consumers:
For others who might be interested in this for some reason... don't bother.

Products used:
The Reading and vocabulary parts of the site.

I think i've said enough but it is completely unhelpful to educate the students properly and any school that does this is not worried about the students academic success at all.

Reading plus has no place in education. We could be reading real books, written by actually good authors. These "Stories" sound like they where written by robots. No real person writes or speaks in the language patterns these books use. They are boring and tedious to read, a great way to ruin an English lesson or make kids further hate home work. How teachers think this bland drivel is education I do not know. So in short, its $#*!

My school makes me do this all the time. What is the point of this? Can't we just do normal Comprehension? Also, when a book is really boring (which happens often) you can't get off it. You are literally forced to read it! That is really dumb. You're really trying to get people's money. This app sucks so bad that I'm going to rate it 1/5. Would not recommend.
