Hello Families!

I have sent a few messages about logging in everyday to Freckle and Raz Kids. Please make sure to do this. On the Raz kids site, there is a “head sprout” link as well. Students can take a placement test and practice skills at their levels. Please utilize this too when on there! Only 2 students have done so! I am sending some info on that so you will see how beneficial it is! I don’t want to overwhelm you or your child! But, we are going to continue grading for the remainder of the year. I need to see evidence of learning online, pictures of work completed at home, and participation to live lessons on Wed. and Thurs. Students DO NOT have to spend all day on the computer. Just log in to each math/reading practice for 20-30 a day! More if you like, of course! 🙂 If you need chromebooks or internet, please let me know! We can help! 🙂

Headsprout Product Overview

Helping Every Child Become a Capable and Confident Reader

Building reading skills in early grades is vital for a lifetime of success. Headsprout is an online kids reading program for K-5 students that provides teachers and parents with one adaptive, individualized reading solution.

The program is designed to tailor its instruction to the needs and learning pace of every student. Its patented research-based teaching methods have been tested and verified in real classroom environments to improve kids’ reading skills at various reading levels, from non-readers and early readers to established readers already reading above their grade level.

The Headsprout System

What truly sets Headsprout apart from other online reading programs is its one-of-a-kind scaffolded teaching approach that automatically adapts so every student receives the individualized practice and instruction they need. With Headsprout, kids learn to read and read to learn. Early readers interact with engaging online episodes and read printable eBooks designed to instill key reading fundamentals like phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and beginning comprehension. Once readers have demonstrated a solid grasp of the basics, they move on to episodes created to teach the four primary components of reading comprehension: finding facts, making inferences, identifying themes, and learning vocabulary in context.

Headsprout has been rigorously tested and is the perfect online instructional resource for schools and parents looking for an effective, adaptive, and fun kids’ reading program that is easy to implement and use. Every child can become a successful reader. Headsprout is the program that will help them reach that goal.

Again, this is on the raz kids site, next to the level up button!

• Assignments will be graded and entered in MiStar to ensure accountability.  
• Teachers will continue to provide feedback to students on his/her performance.

• Work completed prior to April 20th that demonstrates a student’s mastery of learning will count toward his/her grade.
