bro this app is the worst my teacher forces us to do readigplus for an hour like bro i cant suporrot thissss

this is the WORST site ever bru

I use this website as homework at school and to be honest its really bad. The teachers say it 'improves your reading' but all it does is make you read longer texts and increase your reading speed. Some people in my class would disagree with me, but in my case im quite and advanced reader so the texts for me are always too short or too straightforward. The stories on there are mostly informational and no real stories. Plus you have to get to a high level to find stories that are actually interesting. It also makes me want to read less physical books because im so mentally tired from reading them i cant be bothered to read actual books. In all of the levels there are limited stories (because of course there cant be infinite stories for reading plus to have) but there is a very small variety to choose from. Overall could be improved a lot in many ways.

I'm a Year 7 student who gets assigned Reading Plus homework every week and it is insufferable. The G-rate is either a snail or a fighter jet and you need to match it EXACTLY while reading independently or you need to re-read the page. The comprehension questions are more about memory than understanding the text and you must be near PERFECT to keep advancing and for your assignments to count. The design is extremely outdated and if you (God forbid) don't have a photographic memory you get a patronising "Uh-oh. Your score was XX% on your last reading lesson," etc. Also, when on the last "combo" of a level, you don't get to use any assistance, just your memory. Also, the percentage calculation is RIDICULOUS because a correct question is worth 10% (or 20%, more on that later) while a "partial credit" is, you guessed it, 4%. LEARN MATHEMATICS! Also, if you manage to survive for 5 levels, you only get asked 5 questions and once again, a "partial credit" is WRONG: 8% while a correct question is 20%. Any teachers reading this: do NOT use this archaic, frustrating and patronising website.

bro this website is so buns get a better one like g it wont even let me make my WPM go faster.
