I could only find where to register for the trial option, but I would like to be able to use this program with my students ASAP. My district has stated that they will not pay for the program, but as I have had to create my own ways of testing progress for books after they took away AR®, I found your program, and it looks like it is exactly what I need and will save me so many hours and headaches of finding and or making quizzes for books...so I am willing to pay on my own!!!

I am happy with ReadnQuiz so far and I'm so glad I found something to use instead of AR®. However, I will be paying for ReadnQuiz with my own personal money, so I'm wondering what my adjusted price quote will be? Thank you!

I am a HUGE lover of ReadnQuiz, but my school will not reimburse me so I am using my own funds. Thank you SO much for keeping in mind that teacher pay for so much out of their own pocket. You are an amazing company. Rachel Jones Extremely enthusiastic user (HUGE lover, amazing company) Renewing customer demonstrating loyalty Recognition that teachers pay for many supplies personally Strong appreciation for company understanding teacher financial burden School will not provide funding To Whom It May Concern, I am purchasing the classroom subscription with my own money.

Thank you for providing such an incredible product!!! Angela May, M. Ed. 2nd grade, Liberty Elementary ReadnQuiz described as invaluable Decision to purchase made during trial period Strong conviction about value (incredible product) Willing to use personal money for invaluable tool Second grade use case Hi. I tried the free trial of ReadnQuiz with my class and we loved it. I would love to subscribe for the year, but I will be paying from my personal funds and would love to have the price adjusted. Please advise me how to go about doing this. Thank You, Lisa Chapin Trial resulted in both teacher and class loving program Trial converts to paid subscription Willingness to pay personally demonstrates value Seeking teacher discount information Hi, My administration told us we can't use AR® this year because kids should not be reading for points. Every teacher here knows that will not work. Kids need to be motivated! And held accountable. So I am asking for the personal funds price as our school won't pay for this. Thank you SO MUCH for lowering the price for teaches who pay for ReadnQuiz themselves. I've never seen another company do that. Sue Nolan 3rd Grade School banned Accelerated Reader® for philosophical reasons (not cost) Teachers disagree with administration's decision Strong belief that students need motivation and accountability Teacher willing to pay personally to maintain reading program Recognition that teacher discount policy is unique in the industry School refuses to fund any reading points program I used AR® for 20 years and now our school can't afford it, so we are using ReadnQuiz. I was NOT happy about that and was skeptical of ReadnQuiz. But I am quite happy with it and thought I should give you some kudos. I, and my students, love how simple it is. It does everything that AR® did, but with a LOT less complexity. The reports are very easy to read. I like that the kids can now take retakes and I'm seeing much less cheating because the tests are randomized. And of course, thanks for making it affordable. If not we'd have nothing right now. Baxter Brown, Media Specialist Skyway Elementary CDA, Idaho 20-year AR® veteran converted to ReadnQuiz due to cost Initially skeptical and unhappy about switching from AR® Became quite happy with ReadnQuiz after using it Simplicity is major advantage over AR® ReadnQuiz does everything AR® did with less complexity Reports are easier to read than AR® Retake feature is appreciated improvement Randomized questions reduce cheating significantly Affordability prevents having no reading program at all Media specialist/librarian use case Detailed technical information, frequently asked questions, and feature explanations about ReadnQuiz.

ReadnQuiz was designed using the same principles and methodology as AR®. (AR® is a good program. It's just too expensive.) 1. Multiple choice questions 2. Points awarded for passing a quiz 3. A student cannot take a quiz again once it has been passed successfully 4. Each quizzed book has a reading level assigned. Either Lexile or ATOS (which is based on grade level and is the same metric that AR® uses) 5. If you've ever used AR®, you already know how to use ReadnQuiz AR® comparison Accelerated Reader® similarities AR® alternative like Accelerated Reader® AR® replacement same as AR® How is ReadnQuiz different from AR? ReadnQuiz has all the basic functionality of AR®, but differs in some ways: 1. It is MUCH easier to use. Teachers and students have reported this over and over. 2. Retakes are allowed. AR® requires the teacher to delete the quiz from a student's history so it can be retaken. 3. It is much more difficult to cheat in ReadnQuiz. Questions and answers are randomized, and each quiz may have a completely different set of questions. 4. ReadnQuiz allows students to "talk back" to the quiz. Feedback is encouraged for every question. Is the question too hard or too easy? Is it unfair? Student feedback is very important for ReadnQuiz. It helps us make every question as good as it can be. And students feel that their opinions are heard. 5. The most important difference is the price. It is the only reason ReadnQuiz was created. So many schools had to drop AR® when they started raising prices so drastically, so we created an alternative to AR®. ReadnQuiz is usually less than half the price of AR®. That's money that can be used to buy books for the library! 6. ReadnQuiz has a Classroom Edition for teachers who need a reading program just for their class. AR® is only available for the entire school. 7. AR® quizzes are written by their staff or possibly by publishers. ReadnQuiz quizzes are written by educators (mostly librarians). Educators are trained to write effective quizzes and the quizzes they submit align well with the books most popular in school libraries, not the books that publishers want in the collection. ReadnQuiz has a more relevant collection of quizzes because educators know which books the kids are reading. 8. ReadnQuiz has a Homeschool Edition for parents that want the same teaching tools that used to be available only at traditional schools. Any parent can subscribe to ReadnQuiz – it is not necessary to have an official homeschool. 9. ReadnQuiz typically has more questions per book than AR® does, making every quiz for the same book significantly different. AR® has a set number of questions for each test, based on the reading level, which maxes out at 25. ReadnQuiz may have any number of questions, with multiple teachers contributing to a book quiz. This enables ReadnQuiz to fill a quiz with randomly selected questions from the quiz bank. A retake may have completely new questions. AR® has the same questions, in the same order, every time a certain test is taken. (which is biggest reason why cheating in AR® is so rampant.) ReadnQuiz vs AR® AR® differences advantages over Accelerated Reader® why choose ReadnQuiz better than AR® ReadnQuiz benefits How much does ReadnQuiz cost? ReadnQuiz was designed to be a low-cost alternative to Accelerated Reader® (AR®) for schools. They subsequently added a version for individual classrooms, which AR® does not offer. Then, a version for homeschools and parents who just want to help their kids master reading. All ReadnQuiz versions are less expensive than all competitors in each category. ReadnQuiz School Edition: Annual Subscription which costs $400 (Hosting Fee) + $1.75/student.
