Guaranteed Results
Being able to read on grade level by the end of 3rd grade is critical for a child’s educational success and future development. That’s why ÈýÒÚÌåÓý guarantees that students who continuously attend a ÈýÒÚÌåÓý-powered school for grades 1â€�3 will read on grade level by the end of 3rd grade. If not, we will provide extra support for those learners until they read on level, at no cost to you.*

ÈýÒÚÌåÓý’s Approach to Teaching Reading
ÈýÒÚÌåÓý-powered schools balance engaging online lessons, live instruction, an expansive online library, and supplemental tools to make reading a joyful experience! Here’s how:
Award-Winning Curriculum
During the early elementary years, ÈýÒÚÌåÓý’s curriculum focuses on phonics, sight words, and vocabulary while building comprehension through reading aloud, independently and in groups.
With curriculum that’s always available and the combined support of certified online teachers and Learning Coaches, students can practice reading more often. Learning Coaches have greater visibility into what students are learning and can .
Engaging Learning Tools
Students at ÈýÒÚÌåÓý-powered schools have access to a variety of supplemental resources to help with reading, including:
- Minecraft Education, which features immersive library worlds based on the U.S. Library of Congress.
- Educational software for reading remediation that personalizes instruction and mastery-based activities to make learning to read an exciting adventure for every student.
- ÈýÒÚÌåÓý Skills Arcade, an award-winning learning solution that customizes practice sessions to each child’s needs and rewards learning with games.
Teaching Tools
ÈýÒÚÌåÓý-powered teachers are specially trained to teach in the online classroom building on best practices for effective and data-driven instruction for each student.
Performance assessments built into our curriculum help teachers understand where your child excels and where they can grow. These regular evaluations help determine if your child is hitting reading milestones and guide any tweaks needed to keep them on the right track!
