Management & Reporting
Browser-based delivery and convenient dashboard access provide administrators, teachers, and IT staff with powerful tools to manage their implementation.
- Easy access - Browser-based delivery from a central server enables easy access by students anywhere on the school or district network.
- Centralized management - Program administrators can track use and progress across all schools, while server or hosted deployment simplifies ongoing maintenance.
Student Lessons
Interactive lessons engage students and are designed to promote success.
Each ten-word lesson is built around a topic covered in that grade level (4–8) and follows a consistent format. While the topics and words are on level, readability is two grades lower, allowing students who struggle to access material at their own level.
Each activity provides immediate feedback that coaches students toward the correct answer. Engaging lessons give students multiple exposures to each word, leading to long-term retention. Audio support provides extra scaffolding.
