Expert rapidly ranks reading software from @nielshoven_
A curriculum designer sits at his desk and rapidly ranks various children's reading software programs on a scale of 1 to 10. For each program, he provides a score and a brief, often critical, justification for his rating, covering popular apps like ABCmouse, Hooked on Phonics, and Reading Eggs, and also promoting his own company's software.
