Boring
October 19, 2023

This website hurts my head. It gets real boring after a while. You do the same things over and over again.

Lets be realistic, the passeges take WAY too long and the stories itself are boring. Nothing is relatable and all off the "achivements" you get really don't encourage anyone to continue. The site is outdated and NO ONE wants to do it. I got 2 F's on what normally would have been a B or C if it was not for reading plus. Reading Plus is boring, no one likes it, and it's just a waste of your lifetime. You have to get an 80% for every assignment in order fr it to "count", and even though they try to make their users "read faster," it liturally hurts my eyes trying to even read 2 lines of the story. Also, I had to spend over 5 hours just to do 5 see readers, 5 HOURS! Plus, YOU HAVE TO READ THE SAME STORIES OVER AGAIN IF YOU ALREADY FINISH ALL OF THE OTHER STOIRES AND HAVE YET TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL. MAYBE TZRY AND MAKE THE STORY MORE INTERESTING, INCREASE THE PASSING SCORE TO AT LEAST A 70%, OR EVEN TRY TO ADD SOME STORIES THAT ARE MORE RELATABLE

DONT GET THIS. SO BORING
November 10, 2022

ITs so boring ESPECIALY when ur teacher makes u do 200 reading & vocab a year. I think you should make the reading not so long and when u finish reading or vocab u should make games for rewards or getting coins so u can buy avatars or something fun.

Great Website!
October 28, 2020

I can't assimilate the reasons for all of this hatred towards Reading Plus! Yes, it does augment the amount of homework (one) has to do.(I'm a 7th grader) However, the program itself promotes mental retention and efficient processing. Students might initially be incentivised to finish the lessons through temptations to play on Nintendo Switch, but, through a growth mindset, students must remember that the goal the program has for students is to SIMULTANEOUSLY read faster and comprehend more material. (That's where the retention comes in). Psychologically, the program wants to help people accommodate to faster reading rates, allowing the brain to quickly analyze and implement "mental reading tools."
UPDATE: I have noticed that the vocabulary lessons are a bit flawed. There can be multiple definitions to a word, but only 1 definition would be considered to be veracious. It is infuriating, since this website appears to help you memorize sesquipedalian terminology within a few minutes! I always want to enhance my terminology! Yes, I still think the website is great, but the flaws in the vocab. Lessons are a hindrance to my typically-growing exuberance when I learn new words!

I have to do reading plus at school. I have waaaayyy tooo much homework, and I also go to lots of before/after school classes, but the teacher ALWAYS makes me do the reading plus work. I stay up till 2am every night doing this stupid reading plus. There are only 3 things to do on reading plus. One is to choose a very $#*!ty 10 page story about something we don't relate to, like 'tHe HisTorY of BaSkEtbaLL'. The second one is to press the meaning of a word that pops up on the screen. And the third (the worst), is this $#*!ty thing where you have to press space whenever you see an c instead of an o. Apparently, the teacher says its to help us 'read better'. Well, its not helping me AT ALL! Also its 50 dollars per 4 people to do a boring load of reading plus. Whenever I don't do my reading plus (for example, I had wayy more important things to do like work on 3 assignments and do french homework, the teacher gets all het up. And because I missed 2 reading plus sessions (because I had to do important stuff), I got a B in my report instead of an A!

Readings are very long, tricky and you don't pass if you do not get 80%. I wish they will give you a chance to review and make corrections.

Reading plus is the most worst educational app or whatever I've ever came across. First of all the topics are boring AS FRICK, I don't want to learn how bread is history I want to learn about interesting topics like THE MOST DANGEROUS AND INTERESTING EXOPLANETS IN SPACE. And everything is so boring and it try's to be cool with "events" which is just extra torture. No topics are good and do not even think of getting this because I'm sure you've seen the reviews so reading plus, take your app off the store and shut your company down as its a waste of everything and I could yank shet out my but and it'll be more interesting then your apps topics. Also the website home page looks like it was made back in 2008 and if you look at my screenshots the topics are either stories that are all the same "once upon a time in a village" or whatever which are more boring that's watching paint dry or it's something like "how shoes are made" or "evolution of toilet paper" If you say reading plus is good just shut up you nerd ‍ And I hope you shut down forever reading plus because all you give is torture and I hope you all jump off a cliff.
