DreamBox Reading Plus is the protein shake of literacy apps. It isn't 'fun' in the way a game is, and it isn't 'relaxing' in the way a novel is, but it’s a highly efficient tool for building the mechanical skills of reading. If your kid is a 'reluctant reader' who gets tired after three pages, this is exactly the kind of targeted practice they need.

That said, don't let it become the only way they read. Because it’s so data-driven and assessment-heavy, it can turn reading into a chore. Use it as a supplement to build the muscle, then let them flex that muscle on actual books they choose for themselves.
