My Take
I like the program, but I wish I could do more with it. I would like to be able to create more individualized quizzes and assignments. The program allows you to give assignments to your students but you have to pick from the list of assignments that it has already created.
How I Use It
I use this program as a way to let my students practice reading while they are in class or at home.
