Our students LOVE to write in Boomwriter. Students enjoy writing more in Boomwriter than they did when it was always paper and pencil.

You can't really put a score on the reaction of a student seeing their name and chapters published in a real bound chapter book. A score or written reviews can't even reach how amazing it feels to see your most hesitant writers, go from hating writing to eager for the next Boomwriter task/chapter.

The company behind this programme is incredibly supportive and their knowledge of how to support children with difficulties means that ALL children can achieve with this method of learning to read.

The children love this programme. It is never hard to get reluctant children on the programme as they enjoy it so much and don't feel like they are doing 'work.' The sessions are fun, the children can work on them on their own and they can check and repeat if they do not get it right the first time. The support given by the makers of the programme has been absolutely excellent, and I would highly recommend it as a programme for struggling readers.

O IXL, titan of tabs and torment untold, Spreadsheet monarch with a heart of cold, You promise “practice” in gentle disguise, Then drop twenty questions like meteor skies. Your SmartScore climbs like a mountain of ice, One slip—and you tumble down… not once, but twice. Ninety-nine glory within student sight, One decimal wrong—goodbye to the height. You whisper “adaptive,” but students all know That means “harder questions the moment you grow.” You lure us in with a cheerful green check, Then shove us backwards for one tiny speck. Oh ruler of retries, emperor of grind, You test not math but strength of mind. Fractions repeat like an echoing cave, Each one more confusing, each one less brave. “Find the slope,” you chant again and again, Numbers reshuffled, same headache, same pain. X disappears, Y runs wild, Algebra turns savage, logic turns mild. Your hints cost points like a toll on a road, Three points vanish for knowledge bestowed. “Consider the pattern,” you vaguely declare, While confidence evaporates into air. IXL, scoreboard tyrant, calculator king, You make wrong answers a dramatic thing. One misclick, one rounding mistake, And suddenly everything’s at stake. Your progress bar crawls with theatrical flair, Two percent gained after ten minutes of stare. Victory tastes like cardboard dust, Perfection demanded, or back you must. You are the pop quiz that never ends, The loading wheel that never bends. Students stare in silent dread, Watching SmartScores drop instead. Ninety-eight… ninety-five… ninety-two… fall, Each mistake echoing through the hall. “Almost there!” your cheerful cry, Then subtract five points… why, oh why? Two trains leave stations, here we go again, One goes north, one through my brain. Word problems march like an endless parade, Logic dissolves, confidence fades. Oh IXL, endless treadmill of doom, Digital dungeon of fluorescent gloom, Yet still we return, assignment in hand, Bound by homework across the land.

IXL helped students I tutor perform well on their GCSE, gaining 8s after being predicted 5/6. I've started using it with other students now, both for practice and for the diagnostic when I first start with them.

The children love bedrock, they get excited when they know they have a lesson. It helps to support vocabulary, which children are using in their writing. Also, in reading they are using the synonyms for words they have learnt.

I think Bedrock is a really useful tool to improve vocabulary but it is difficult to monitor and assess progress holistically as part of curriculum. It is also expensive so I would recommend depending on the needs and context of the school but I am in agreement that it is a very useful too when implemented well.

I've been playing with Scribeasy at home with my son as well as using it in my school, I continue to find new ways to create ideas and creative projects, It's hard for me to find a critism that warrants taking stars away? Problems I had early on when working with my groups have all been resolved and the site works very well. There is nothing on my wish list for now!

I wish I had this app when I was at that age! It’s just such a game changer - my daughter loves how the app supports her only when she needs it. She gained the confidence she needs to become an independent reader.

Because I think it is a waste of time t it is no fun.

I would say that it is lacking in some aspects, but I think that it would still be quite helpful to any student, especially if you want to revise or learn ahead as it provides all resources both above and below your grade level in your subject.
