Reading Plus? More like Reading Minus.
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 The design is extremely outdated and if you (God forbid) don't have a photographic memory you get a patronising "Uh-oh.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.
