Reading Comprehension Grade 3 provides academically-sound reading practice in a fun, game-like environment.

The app provides:
- Graduated practice at reading and answering grade-appropriate questions. 
- Texts start easy and gradually increase in difficulty.  
- Audio supports weak readers.
- 'At a glance' reporting shows you instantly how your child is doing with each of 9 key reading comprehension skills:  main idea, sequencing, fact & opinion, text details, etc.

Good reading takes practice. This app provides a motivating environment for your child to get the daily practice he or she needs.

Other benefits of the app:

- FRUSTRATION FREE: Your child will always be guided to the correct answer.


- REWARD CENTER: Fun and engaging Reward Center increases motivation.

- EASY TO USE. Can be used independently (just hand it over: your child will know what to do!) or with a therapist/parent for intervention.

- EXTENSIVE REPORTING: for up to 10 players to suit the needs of parents, teachers and therapists.


Our apps are designed for and tested by typical and special needs children. Testers include children with Autism and other special needs. Our apps work for them!

This app is part of a grade-by-grade series of Reading Comprehension apps. For any struggling learner, find the app that allows your child to work at 70-80% accuracy.  Children need success to keep their brain in 'learning mode'.  Ignore the grade-level and find the one that best suits your child.

(Look on the app store for a reduced-price bundle of the whole series.)

### 1/5 — No value?

*2024-10-29, version 1.7*

Paid for the app and it won’t do anything other then the first story!

### 1/5 — Horrible App

*2020-01-12, version 1.6*

This app is terrible. We tried the first story and it was glitchy. I figured we’d give it a shot and pay for the rest of the stories expecting a better experience for the paid content. The stories don’t load appropriately, the questions load with no text, and you have to constantly have to return to the home page and restart to get things to load correctly. This app is not worth the money or time.

### 5/5 — Mrs

*2015-12-11, version 1.1*

This app is perfect for my son to practice the areas he struggles with in school. Some pictures of the story would be nice though.

### 4/5 — Practice those comprehension skills!

*2015-12-10, version 1.1*

This free app allows for practicing various comprehension strategies that are in Happy Frog’s other apps- including main idea, details, fact & opinion, inference, etc. The app is easy to navigate, and the data is collected for the teacher/parent to see what the child may need more practice on. Rewards are given for correct answers, which in turn can be used in the shop to personalize their character or play another game.

### 5/5 — Linda1927

*2015-12-03, version 1.1*

Another great app from Happy Frogs! I use this app with my students who have special needs. Although they are in grades 9/10, they are learning at this level. The stories are interesting and there is just the right number of questions to keep the students on track/focussed but not so many that they get bored with actually having to “work”. A bonus for me is that I can change the mastery level, to encourage repetition. My students like the music and I like that it can be turned off. The really like the ability to earn reward tokens/money and choose their own reward. Some chose to shop for their avatar and some preferred to play games. Thank you.

### 4/5 — Nice addition to the series

*2015-11-26, version 1.0*

I really like the Happy Frog apps. This one has a Nicely laid out format and easy to read font. I can definitely use this with my Speech and Language students. 

I would suggest two improvements: for an incorrect response, provide an immediate and easy view back to highlight or find the correct info in the text (rather than having to navigate back and find it); and indicate when more than one selection is needed (eg, both chocolate and strawberry).
