This website is interactive for students and teachers. It is for Kindergarten

through twelfth grade. It features the subjects of math and language arts. Students can click on
their grade and subject. It then shows every skill/objective the students will learn for that grade
level. Then, they can scroll over the objective and it will provide the students with a sample
problem. In order to get access to the full website and all the games it has to offer to help
students learn the objectives you must buy a membership. Parents can buy the membership for
$9.95 a month or $79 yearly. Teachers can get a classroom trial to use in their class to see if they
like it, and they also get cheaper quotes when purchasing. The website keeps the
parents/teachers up to date of what their child/student is learning and how they are accessing the
website. Another great attribute to this website is it has a link to common core standards which
teachers can use to view their states standards and find practice problems, and track students
performance. This website is a great tool for teachers to help their students learn while having
fun and allows them to keep track of their students progress. https://www.ixl.com/

This is a website that students K-5 can use to help them with reading
skills! Books are categorized by leveled books, alphabet books, decodable books, read-aloud
books, and even more! As children read they can take quizzes and do activities based off the
books. This is an excellent resource for teachers because they can buy a membership, some
schools even buy the program for the entire school to use. Teachers give students a specific login
and teacher can track their progress and see where they are! There also benchmark assessments,
high- frequency tests, and running records! This software is research based and has clear
undeniable results! I highly recommend this resource to teachers who want to keep their students

Head sprout is a researched based learning system that helps

students read, comprehend, and think critically about text. The lessons are structured to the
individual. There are 130 adaptive online episodes that progress from early foundational reading
skills to comprehending and thinking critically about texts. Students first take a pre-assessment
to assure they start at the right place in the episodes. This resource is good for K-4 level reading.
Headsprout gets students ready at an early age for testing they will face to enter colleges by
teaching them four types of questions consisting of: cue words, mostly about, find fact, and
vocabulary. In a large study examining 4th grade reading growth, schools that used Headsprout
showed 7 times the gains than those schools who did not use it. With this program, teachers can
login and monitor each of their students progress and see areas of strengths and weaknesses.
Teachers may also make their own assignment on the program for their class to do! This website
is amazing and a great tool for teachers to keep track of their students reading progress.
