Game Changer for Busy Families with Avid Readers

To say “our daughter reads A LOT” is an understatement. She can easily read a graphic novel, Diary of a Wimpy Kid book or several facts books in a single day - which is amazing, however it makes tracking her AR tests, and correlating which school award they belong to, daunting. Shark Reader changes all of that. I started out by syncing her entire history and updating which awards she’s already obtained (important if you’ve already received an award that can only be received one time). Now it’s part of our weekly routine to sync her week’s tests. No more back tracking or spending hours hand writing on different awards. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for your lil Shark Reader 🦈
