English Reading +

The texts are excellent and it’s good practice. They have a lot of different types where you can read and answer. Although, I would really like the spelling mistakes to be fixed on the questions and options. Sometimes I am unable to read the words. It’s infuriating!! For example on Lesson 07 Question 1/4, it askes ”Feathers are mostly known for…” and option A is ”keeping the birwarm” which I assume is ”bird warm”. On lesson 06 there was: What is a cognate? (A) similarity of numbers. (B) French words introduceinto Englan (C) similarity of Anglo-Saxon anFrench words. (D) woris cognate with another if both derive from the same worin an ancestral language. Do I really have to explain this? There were more spelling mistakes in the previous questions. Keep in mind that I have only done up to seven lessons and there are hundreds more to go. I have a feeling I will be seeing more. Otherwise, the actual texts are good with no mistakes. I would just like the questions and options to be fixed so I can understand and answer.

I’m an English teacher, so this immediately struck me as a great tool for an American high school classroom with iPads equipped. At first, things looked good, but then I noted that there are typographical errors in almost all of the answer choices, rendering this unusable as a real study aid. Additionally, the developer appears to have used some sort of automation or text generator to create the responses if not the text; or the team may not be native English speakers. In any event, there are some “correct” answers which are plainly written in a stilted, awkward style that would make me mark the response incorrect because of their imprecision. Next, there are some etymological questions that aren’t borne out in the readings, which results in users reading a text and then encountering a word with virtually no context clues and being asked to answer questions about the word origin. Towards the end of these selections, the prompt directs users to other sources (dictionary.com, Wikipedia.com, etc) to consult the source and find the answer. Finally, there are certain “tells” which give the correct answers aware in many questions. For instance, the distractors will be one or two words, while the correct answer is almost a complete sentence. It sticks out like a sore thumb and draws attention to its notable keywords and singling itself out as the only robust answer. To me, these are problems that make the app in its current form unusable as real learning tool. It’s a good start, but it needs massive corrections. I’ve already gone through “packages” 1-3 in the reading comprehension, and some questions I’ve simply had to rewrite from the ground up before sharing with my students. If the developer were able to correct these issues, this would be a strong app which I could recommend to anyone striving to drill his reading comprehension. As it stands now, I can’t rate this well.

Your application is very good, just please add persian language to the translations

Theres alot of passages to learn from but theres a problem, words are spelt wrong, words missing a letter, this stuff occurs almost every time I do a passage... It needs to get fixed!

The app is pretty good.I practice a lot from it.The only thing I don’t like is spelling.Some words weren’t spelled correctly or were missing a few letters.
