Reading Comprehension: Grade 3

This app is terrible. We tried the first story and it was glitchy. I figured we’d give it a shot and pay for the rest of the stories expecting a better experience for the paid content. The stories don’t load appropriately, the questions load with no text, and you have to constantly have to return to the home page and restart to get things to load correctly. This app is not worth the money or time.

This free app allows for practicing various comprehension strategies that are in Happy Frog’s other apps- including main idea, details, fact & opinion, inference, etc. The app is easy to navigate, and the data is collected for the teacher/parent to see what the child may need more practice on. Rewards are given for correct answers, which in turn can be used in the shop to personalize their character or play another game.

I really like the Happy Frog apps. This one has a Nicely laid out format and easy to read font. I can definitely use this with my Speech and Language students. I would suggest two improvements: for an incorrect response, provide an immediate and easy view back to highlight or find the correct info in the text (rather than having to navigate back and find it); and indicate when more than one selection is needed (eg, both chocolate and strawberry).
