In a virtual environment we need to know how to type and use the tools of a keyboard correctly. Often when trying to teach students how to write a complete sentence, I find they know what to write, but not how to capitalize or find the correct punctuation on the keyboard.

🧠 Support for Dyslexic Learners

MindPlay is designed with a strong focus on assisting students with dyslexia. Its curriculum is grounded in the Orton-Gillingham approach and the Science of Reading, providing structured, multisensory instruction. The program includes a K-3 Dyslexia Screener to identify early signs of dyslexia, allowing for timely interventions

Furthermore, MindPlay Reading Coach offers individualized instruction with immediate feedback, adapting in real-time to ensure mastery. It also features a Personalized Library with high-interest decodable texts to reinforce phonics skills .​

📊 Effectiveness and Research-Based Outcomes

MindPlay Reading has demonstrated significant improvements in students' reading abilities. Notably, a study indicated that eighth-grade students who participated in the MindPlay Virtual Reading Coach (MVRC) during summer school increased their reading skills by 1.5 to 3 years in just 16 days .​MindPlay Education

Additionally, in one semester, 66% of students using MindPlay increased their reading proficiency by one grade level or more .​

🔄 Adaptive Learning Features

MindPlay employs adaptive technology to tailor instruction to each student's needs. The Universal Screener efficiently identifies a student's reading strengths and weaknesses, enabling educators to plan targeted instruction and interventions

The program's adaptive instruction ensures that students receive personalized learning paths, with on-screen speech-language pathologists delivering phonological awareness instruction. This approach supports all five pillars of reading and accommodates various learning styles

Please DO NOT complete any lessons the week of Orientation EXCEPT for the 3 Orientation lessons listed above.

Once you begin courses (next week) your teachers will exempt you from anything that was assigned prior to your first class day... DO NOT PANIC when you see "Overdue lessons 500"... NOTHING is overdue

Just focus on the "To Do List" and everything will be fine!
