This is an excellent reading comprehension practice app with ten passages exclusives focused on sports topics, including both male and female athletes. Adults can password protect results and track the progress of as many students as they want. There are ten passages with twelve, untimed questions for each. The left half of the screen is the passage which a student can easily scroll at any time. The right half has a single multiple choice question at a time. After a student answers the question, the correct part of the passage is always highlighted to reinforce or explain why that answer was correct. After completing the twelve multiple choice questions, the results can be reviewed both overall and by answer showing both the correct answer and the student's choice so an adult can follow up as appropriate. Overall, this app gives very good reading comprehension practice on topics that are of to interest children, so adults can understand a student's true capability if the student is engaged in the reading. *Note: This app was originally reviewed for iPhone/iPad.
