[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All grades use dreambox and lexia in APS elementary. It’s not the main program it is a supplement.

Kinder uses Heggerty for Phonologocal awareness, and 95% group for core phonics instruction. We are getting a new math program for the fall.[/quote]

What does supplement mean, they are in school 6 hrs, 1.5 hr for lunch and 2 recess, I would think most of the day would be instruction.

Do you mean supplement at home?[/quote]

Even in kindergarten teachers are breaking the kids out into small groups. So while the teacher is meeting with a small group to give them siecifuc instruction (maybe this group is already reading, or maybe they all need help on a specific skill), the other kids will be doing some independent work which can include iPad apps. [/quote]Except the first half of the year the teacher station is the teacher helping the kindergarteners learn to use the apps or doing beginning of the year assessments.  They don't start actual small group instruction with a teacher until March, as Jan-Feb is taken up by mid-year assessments.[/quote]
