"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  The other one must be based on some very outdated core standards for reading.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 Teachers can use this app with their entire classroom: • Enter as many student names as you need • Password protected administrator section allows you to review student scores and track student improvement • Assign stories and question sets with the Schoolwork app • Email a student's specific test results or a recap of their full progress Non-Fiction topics include: • Benjamin Franklin • Henry Ford • Steve Jobs • Georgia • Japan • Saturn • Annie Smith Peck • George Eastman • Ronald Reagan • Levi's Blue Jeans • Clouds • Turtles • Catnip • Rainforests • Ancient Rome With practice you can achieve your best scores!
