Reading Plus is boring in my opinion, It is very difficulty for ppl, if you get 100%, 90%, and 80%, it means good, If you get a bad percent, it means very bad and crappy

Atrocious
May 6, 2023

Reading plus is torture for all children. Who wants to dedicate 2 hours of their life to reading boring books that A) you wont ever read again and B) that will never benefit you ever again. I would understand the vocabulary lessons as they do educate people with new words but I READING is just vile. Every child could be enjoying those 2 hours of their lives in multiple different ways. The idea that children are punished for incompletion just justifies my argument. Imagine spending hours on end to get 5 lessons above 80%. What about the mentally challenged that have to do 13 lessons just to get 5 green and the rest below. This is discriminatory and horrendous. This useless program forces children to sleep late at night so that they don't upset their teachers that assign this.
I hope I READING gets shut down and deleted from the face of this earth.

Torture
May 6, 2023

Dear Schools,
Do not take reading plus in your school, as a student this program is not helping me at all!
Infact it gives me mental issues because according to my school, we have to do 5 lessons a week and if we dont do all 5 lessons getting 80 % on ALL of them we get a demerit, 3 demerits and its a detention. My assessment are coming up and ain't no way im spending the 2 hours i get to study everyday doing this reading plus. AND THEN OFCOURSE IM GONNA GET A DEMERIT. THEN A DETENTION. STOPPPPP. RARAWRAWRAE

Reading Plus.
April 27, 2023

So reading plus, is really annoying. Sometimes it says you are reading too fast when it is your natural rate! Also the books do not educate anyone in my class that much. The only reason why we're doing this is so that we don't get an A+ to a damn F.

Painful headaches
April 27, 2023

This program is the worst thing ever. You have to do 3 boring stories and get an 8/10 to pass. Tell me how many stories it took me to get an 8/10. My words of advice are JUST READ A BOOK! Do not waste your time on something NOT HELPFUL! READ A BOOK DO NOT WAIST YOUR TIME!

Utterly garbage
April 25, 2023

Reading Plus is so utterly garbaging it made me projectile vomit seventy-seven miles shooting through the stratosphere and puncturing a 40m wide hole in the International Space Station. Furthermore, it asks you to read comfortably but then limits your reading rate because apparently, I'm reading "too fast". Yeah, I was taking a reading rate assessment but I was reading too quickly so the AI told me to take my time.

Boring lessons
April 23, 2023

The lessons are super boring and everytime I get under 80%, it's really frustrating, as I got like 78% which is basically robbery. Lessons can be too easy in one level and too hard in another..

This horrible site makes you want to die from extreme stress and over whelming pressure. If you want to live dont play its game of torture. Only insane people would try this out, if you want to feel extremely angry and other bad emotions try 1 story and let hell break through to you through your god forbidding screen.

-*******/10 rating in my opinion

Readng plus bad
April 17, 2023

The stories are boring and when u get halfway through you cant go back so your stuck reading that story until you finish the comprehension questions, overall reading plus is not a good website but schools still use it anyways.

Absolute Garbage
April 14, 2023

I was on reading plus and I had spent about an hour on reading plus only completing 3 out of 5 stories. I was super bored, especially after a long and boring day of school. When I finished my five stories, it was 10:00 pm. And I had started at 7:30, so I two and a half hours of my day doing something rated 1.33 stars. I cried myself to sleep that night due to the stress I had faced with a test I got a 20% on, hard math homework, and reading plus. In my opinion, I think reading plus is the meaning or trash. Thank you for reading this.

I believe that although reading plus may be annoying at some times it still helps me learn. It also me to show more interesting facts and make my jaw drop.

Last combo
March 20, 2023

Reading plus is ok but the thing they need to change is that on the last combo they need rereads then it will be better because I keep on getting the answers wrong when I read the text properly which will get me into support mode and I don't want that.

Lets make reading plus interesting
March 10, 2023

Reading plus is really boring, the books have no interesting topics, If it had things like romance, historical fiction, mystery, Etc. it would make it a lot better. I'm in 7th grade and have been doing this for a year. I haven't seen an effect in my G rate and got so bored I found out I don't have to read the book for me to get at least an 80%. The question doesn't really make sense to the book. Also, I think you shouldn't have a limit on how many times you get a re-read, yes 2 per book is fine but after you use 2 per book about 10 times you get no more re-reads. Finally, if you get one question wrong you lose 10% of the grade for that 100% but if you got a yellow box and not red it takes it down by 6% which is frustrating because say you got one read two yellow instead of having an 80% you have a 78%. UPDATE, if it could not reset till the teacher chooses when or till you have finished all assignments that would be great because I have ADHD and get distracted a lot and I know other people with or without get distracted too.
