Awesome app!

The reason why I got this app was because I saw a friend playing it, and it looked fun. This app is good for learning main idea. One thing that was annoying with this app was it had super slow loading time. I would recommend this app to anyone who is open to the learning experience.

Confusing

We are using during summer to strengthen writing skills. But I totally disagree with a lot of these answers. There will be one sentence shown. The answers that show as correct are not included in the sentence. They are included in the longer passage at the top. This happens often and I consider your answers incorrect. How can I use this as a learning tool when I disagree?

Great app!

I’m a speech language pathologist, and I’ve often used this app to help reinforce and practice the concept of Main Idea with my students. They especially love to earn all 3 stars!
