GBNot teacher friendly Not teacher friendly. No way to tell if students have completed reading unless they complete the quiz and then recording the quiz is cumbersome. Also, lexile levels don't go very high - so it limits the reading level for students who are at or above their reading.

GBI love the content, but I love the content, I dislike that my students have to log in each time they have missed a week of being on-line. I'm using this for my 10 year-old class and they lose log-in information. Instead of them using this format at home for extra information, I now use it on my smart TV screen share and must print off any sheets I want them to use. Please do not sign off students; leave them logged in for the duration of the payment. Thank you. Barbara Bohn

GBExcellent Resource As a retired teacher and current homeschool grandparent, Kidsdiscover is a great find. It is an excellent resource for articles (written in three Lexile ranges) related to science and social studies curricular standards. With the pictures and graphics, it's an engaging read for learners (and their instructors).

GBIntegrates well with fifth grade curriculum! Three lexile levels enables us to use articles for guided reading. Alignment to NGSS standards enables me to integrate literacy and science. The units on U.S. history and Native Americans are excellent for our social studies! I teach fifth grade.

GBTwo Stars and a Wish I like the social studies for the 6th grade level. We read the middle reading level. The photos are well done and page layouts are arranged nicely with the right vocabulary for my 11-year-old. Well done. I did observe that the upper grade levels for the history/social studies becomes too much of name and date information. I wish you could show the date items in a historical time line that would capture the kids interest more. I realize you are trying to cover certain curriculum rules. Anyway I am sure you will take this in and do something clever.
