Print and digital learning

Print and digital program components are woven together, personalizing instruction with targeted skills for each student’s individual learning path. 

A Blended Learning Experience

A Blended Reading Experience

Students read connected text in books and through Student Digital Learning to practice decoding and recognizing common words while gaining content knowledge. The key learning outcome is independent reading proficiency.

Personalized Student Pathing

Student digital learning experiences are adapted based on their performance in formative assessment checkpoints. When students need more support, they get it for a particular skill.

All students start with an oral reading screener to assess skill proficiency. The results of this screener will place them in an adaptive learning path.  Teachers always have the option of manually changing a student's level based on their own assessment of the student's proficiency.

Adaptive Pathing Saves Teachers Time

Make the most of your limited instructional time with accurate, regular assessment checkpoints, conducted through student digital learning. Assessment Checkpoints ensure that students receive the scaffolded support or stretch opportunities to achieve success. 

  • After teacher-led small-group sessions, practice on key skills continues in Student Digital Learning.
  • Students apply the primary phonics or word study skill in connected text and in isolation. 
  • If students struggle, they are offered scaffolds to help them reach proficiency. 

Oral Reading Screener

Digital assessments use speech-technology to save teachers time as it automatically places students within an adaptive instructional pathway. This voice-enabled oral reading screener, powered by SoapBox Labs, records each child reading a short decodable text and scores the reading based on the child’s ability to read skill words in connected text.

Embedded Progress Monitoring 

A series of formative assessment checkpoints determine personalized pathing and support.
