GBThis is an extremely bad website Reading Plus has glitches, the stories are extremely unusual and overall It is definitely not a good website. I am just in shock at how bad the app is and also I don't understand why they made it so complicated. If I was a teacher I would definitely not use this for students.

GBjust no. that's it. I love to read but the website referred to as ReadingPlus is, and I quote, "a modern form of torture." I personally love to read fiction but it has literally SIX! SIX pages of fiction. If you go to read NON-fiction, THERE ARE THE MOST BORING SUBJECTS OF ALL TIME! I DON'T WANT TO READ HOW A DOG STEALS HEARTS OR BEHIND THE SCENES OF ELLIS ISLAND! Also, the guided window is a snail. This means you can't process the information and get put in Support Mode. Then the whole thing happens over and over. That's my opinion on the, "helping website" known as ReadingPlus.

GBTeacher to Admin - RP Rocks! I have been a user of Reading Plus since 2013. I have seen what it can do for high school students that were in my Reading classes and am now seeing what it is doing for my elementary students as an Administrator. On average, our students are gaining 2 levels on their reading comprehension within the program. This in addition to fluency and vocabulary gains. I also couldn't ask for a better support staff. Everyone from our rep Janine down to the individuals that assist on live chat, email, and via phone calls are WONDERFUL. I highly recommend this program.

GBIt is just a boring website It is just a boring website, and it doesn't help me learn. None of the books are interesting.

GBThis app ruined my reading This app ruined my reading, the books were quite boring, so I sped it up as much as possible (Note: you have it set to one speed, not read at your own pace. It might have 2 modes, but it still pressures and BLOCKS YOU FROM USING THE PROGRAM if you are too fast or too slow). However, this just made me skim through the texts. I gave it up for a little while to real actual books, it was so hard to understand (I used to read a lot in the past - I was never this confused by the texts) what was happening since I had build the habit of skimming through the text. Luckily, after not using the program for a few months, I have rebuild the habit of actually reading it. It might 'make you consistently read' but this makes you just read at a constant pace, while not actually taking it all in. It is for these reasons that I do not use ReadingPlus anymore. I understand how it may help other students, but it isn't for an avid reader. If you are a teacher, don't make it necessary to do your lessons. I am worried that some people may have to do these lessons, hate them, and think that *all* reading is like this. Going back to my example, after I stopped using ReadingPlus, I enjoyed reading the most I had in over a year.
