Awful Torture Device! Reading Plus is awful, tells you to slow down if you go "too fast", then sends you back to the start and sends a message to your teacher! If you get below a certain percent, it labels that lesson as "red" which often leads to detentions! Questions are mind numbing and useless. SCHOOLS DO NOT USE THIS!

This website SUCKS, you're forced to remember the tiniest details whilst falling asleep because of how slooow it is. Unless you have to get your teacher changes it but the max speed is still as slow as a snail. The vocabulary is easy but thats the reason it has even one star. - Yr 9 Student

Reading plus is horrible this doesn't help my reading it instead helps me waist time on a book which is not remotely interesting. I don't see why we couldn't just read a book which interests us instead of reading a crap story which a 2 year old could write a better one.

Reading Plus is widely criticized by students for being a monotonous, high-pressure, and often counterproductive tool, turning the enjoyment of reading into a stressful, repetitive chore. The program's forced reading speeds, unengaging content, and rigid, punitive grading system can actively discourage students from reading rather than improving their skills.Tedious and Disengaging Content .Students frequently report that the stories in Reading Plus are boring and lack relatability, making the experience feel more like a tedious task than a beneficial activity. The reading materials are often recycled, resulting in students having to read the same dull stories repeatedly over several years.Unrealistic and Restrictive "Reading Eye" Technique. A major complaint involves the "SeeReader" component, which uses a "guided window" that reveals text at a specific, sometimes slow, speed. This prevents students from going back and re-reading sentences, a fundamental skill for comprehension. It acts like "horse blinders," limiting the user's ability to engage in normal, active reading habits.High-Pressure and Punitive Grading Reading Plus demands that students hit specific, high percentages on lessons, often leading to immediate penalties for wrong answers, which causes significant stress. For many, the program becomes a source of anxiety rather than a learning tool, with students often feeling "stupid" for getting questions wrong, even if they are proficient readers.Time-Consuming and Ineffective For many, the program is seen as a waste of time, consuming hours of valuable class time or homework time that could be better spent on productive work. Some users report having to complete extensive assignments to meet high weekly requirements. In some cases, students have used the program for years without seeing any improvements in their reading abilities. Conclusion. While designed to improve fluency, Reading Plus is largely viewed as a "torture device" that reduces reading to a mindless, high-stress, repetitive exercise. It frequently fails to engage students, instead creating a negative association with reading.

I have to sit there reading books that are not interesting and you get put on support mode. Also when you read to fast you get put on hold and the teacher needs to stop doing what she is doing and take me of hold and if you just get put on hold once my teacher starts saying why are you on hold. Sometimes I don’t even read same for others and my teacher check who is reading and if you’re not reading then you get detention and you stay in for the whole of break and lunch and you get sent to the headteachers office if I could I would rate it a -1000000000000 stars. I am trying to do my stats and go to secondary school and I am on reading plus 0 stars schools don’t get this
