Reading Plus has been designed for students in Years 4-13, and primarily focuses on Silent Reading Comprehension enhancement, and also features writing, vocabulary and visual tracking skill development. The programme starts by assessing each student's reading skills followed by setting a programme at the appropriate level. Once the student starts, they can go as fast as they want through the levels by doing as much practice as they want to do at home. All their data will be recorded in their own accounts. 

To be part of this class you must have a computer that meets the technical specs needed to run the programme. School computers will be compatible, but we only have a limited numbers of these. Tt is best for students if they have their own laptop so that they can practice out of class and see how many levels they can achieve).specs https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/check-requirements .
