3rd Through 12th Grade Struggling Readers: Our software is research-proven with students from 4th through 12th grade, but educators also see strong results with 3rd graders.
English Language Learners: Many teachers working with children learning English as a second language report incredible outcomes with this population. However, results are not consistent so we are adapting our approach and evaluation methods to better serve this population.
Special Education Students: A growing number of special education teachers document amazing results with students who exhibit behavior and learning challenges, dyslexia and autism. However, we do not have consistent data with this group and are developing new methods and assessments to meet their unique needs.
Students Reading at Grade Level: Our software is also extremely effective with students reading at grade level.
