They love the immediate feedback and fun challenges, which have helped them build confidence and improve their accuracy. For reading, apps that allow them to listen to stories, practice fluency, and answer comprehension questions have made a big difference — especially for students who were hesitant readers before.\r\n\r\nStudents who used to shy away from reading now eagerly log into a reading app every day, excited to earn points and unlock new stories.
