Correct Answers Marked as Wrong
I would definitely recommend this app for quick short reads to reinforce reading comprehension skills. The kids really enjoy reading these short non-fiction passages and then answering the questions. I have found them to have great value for my struggling readers.
Tips for tech support:
Answers #44 & 46 in Reading Group 6 are are not correct. #44's answer doesn't match the story's answer and #46 has NO correct answer.
On Reading Group #7, there is supposed to be a pic of a sea turtle, but instead, it is a repeat pic of a shark from the previous passage.

Please complete the answers!
There are many multiple choice answers that we cannot fully see therefore choosing the correct answer is impossible. Please fix with an update ASAP! I will re-rate after these changes.

Larger pictures and higher level questions would make this a perfect app!!
Good app, but needs to be improved.
# I like this app, it has small non-fiction passages about animals and then below are few questions related to it with multiple choice answer.
There is no animation or auto read, so the child has to read him/ herself. If a correct answer is selected it shows :) face and if it's wrong :(. The child can try by looking at the passage again and answering again.
# Things I don't like are:
-You can't create multiple users. :(
- some of the answer options are just a few words from the passage and not complete which can be confusing for the child.
- There is no way to bookmark at which passage you left off at or the level you are on. (very much needed)
-Difficult to remember which passage you have already worked on and what is the score on that passage :(

So buggy
It won't show complete sentenses in the question instead of "....
Let have it fix already.

Would love to be able to contact Basic Skills Interactive LLC to learn more!
We are VERY interested in integrating an app like this for our struggling 4th and 5th grade readers. However; we'd like to get a viable link for contact to the maker. We are wondering what sort of academics are behind the passages and how the questions were generated. Basically, we want to contact the creator to discover the academic sources (research, programs, etc.). The website appears to be a PDF linked as a website, with an "unclickable" Contact Us button.

I love this app!
My daughter can't put this down. She loves animals so I figured this would interest her and I was right. I like it because she is learning about animals while sharpening her reading skills. I also like that they have like 90 stories in here.. I think it's a good deal.
