Freckle by Renaissance

We use Freckle by Renaissance's adaptive components to address students' needs and provide practice at their level. In addition, we can assign grade-level practice or assessments to not only target needs but also check their progress at the level they are expected to work on.

• Students were exposed to content that they would normally not have been.
• Students are motivated to practice as they get coins for their work.

IXL Learning

I have used Freckle by Renaissance in my special education teaching practice for the past seven years. There is a diverse range of practice problems for students to use in the areas of language arts and mathematics.

• Freckle makes my job easier because my students like using it.
• My students love the Piggy Store!
• Freckle makes differentiation easy.

Lexia Core5 Reading, IXL Learning

I am a Title 1 reading teacher and Dyslexia Specialist. I love that I can create my own classes with the particular students that I serve. In one class I have students ranging from 6th grade to 2nd grade. I am able to assign lessons based on their needs. For instance, a student in 6th grade may need help with comprehension whereas my 2nd-grade student needs more help in foundation reading skills. These students are only with me for about an hour a day, but I can assign lessons that they are able to accomplish anywhere. Upon completion of their assignments, I am able to see how well they are accomplishing their tasks. With this information, I can determine whether I need to continue teaching a particular skill. Freckle is very useful. Several of our teachers have used it in the past or are still using it presently.

• Freckle has been an asset by allowing me one more resource to use while trying to teach my students certain skills. I have been using it as a source for my students to practice skills in an attempt to strengthen their reading abilities.
• Freckle is an asset to our entire school. By teaching my students how to read more effectively while using Freckle to strengthen their reading abilities, students become more successful in every area of education.
• As students become better readers they tend to be more successful on the state test at the end of the year. Freckle plays a part in our success as a school. We tend to do well in our state. We were rated in the top 10 schools within our region. This is important in the financial stability of our school as it plays a part in our funding.

We utilize both the student-lead, online version where the students can earn coins toward dressing up their avatars as well as teacher unit plans which provide not only differentiation based on Renaissance STAR performance in ELA and Math but also offer videos, check-ins, assessments, articles and more per unit.

• It has given my Social Studies teachers an updated, online platform for materials
