User email:
"I'm very impressed. Keep me updated when you get the 5th and 6th grade apps completed. Do all of them involve history? Since I homeschool, having the history with the reading is a great addition to a homeschool curriculum." - Nancy Daniels

THANKS! Yes, we've tried to include some history/non-fiction in each grade level.

More user feedback:
"I like how it highlights where the answer was in the passage when you pick your answer." - Kami Butterfield, teacher

"The selections are age appropriate and the responses to the questions are not too easy - some thought needs to go into it." - Mary Skummer, teacher

"The feature showing where the answer is located in the passage is a spot on tool since I ask my students to be able to provide this in their oral and written responses." - Harold Nelson, teacher

"Great for reading practice - I would highly recommend it."

"This app helped me in my reading. Now I have an A+. I am very happy I did this app."

"your app is so much more realistic than another 3rd grade reading comprehension app.  The other one must be based on some very outdated core standards for reading.  It was way too easy for the average 3rd grader." - Mary Kroohs

*With practice you can achieve your best scores!*
