I used to use Accelerated Reader quizzes in the past but it became too
expensive. I switched to the student sending me a video of them summarizing
the book (SeeSaw is good for this). Just recently I purchased ReadNQuiz. It
was only $330 for our 4th and 5th grade students (you pay according to your
numbers). They have quizzes for all the Bluestem books except Crossing
Niagra. Now the students have a choice, video summary or pass the quiz.
