When running READ 180 Next Generation on an iOS device, the screen will fade and won't restore. HMH is aware of this issue and is working toward a solution. Until such time, do not upgrade iOS devices to iOS 13 if they are needed to run READ 180 Next Generation.

Districts are reporting that when students log in to iRead they see a black screen and are unable to move forward in the program. HMH is aware of the issue and investigating the potential causes.  See the enclosed document for the recommended workarounds for different browsers.
