Watched my nephew go from hating math to asking for more problems in about three months

His school switched to using a free online program called Zearn, which lets kids work at their own speed with short videos and practice. The change was totally because he could rewatch lessons and get instant feedback on each question, instead of just one test at the end of a unit. Has anyone else seen a specific resource turn a subject around for a kid?

My cousin was the same with reading. Hated every book they gave her at school. Then her teacher started using Epic, that digital library app. She got to pick books about sharks and space robots. Finished her first chapter book in a weekend because she finally found stuff she actually wanted to read. It was just about giving her some choice.

Exactly, choice is the whole game.
