Great idea- Poor delivery

My Take

This tool was a great idea but has poor delivery. The books that are selected are based on his age not his reading ability. It keeps recommending BRL0 books and his score is L 120 . The books can be audible but the questions must be read by the student. Further the questions require inference and outside knowledge. A book about animals living in the arctic mentions that they have white fur but never says why. end of book question is: "which is the reason the animals fur is white?" Further proper English would be "Why do so many animals living in the Arctic have white fur?" I have even seen questions with missing words: In a book about emperor penguins it asked about the animals moments: there were words missing and it did not make any sense, he guessed migration and was correct. My son likes the variety of books available but he prefers a different program the school uses. Despite my issues with it I prefer myOn because it is not as "teachy". I wish I could reject the books it recommends, he just skips over them and chooses something else. I feel that the program is governing my sons progress and in some ways he is getting board with it because they are offering "baby" books.
