[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]

I'm sorry there is no need to use apps in this case.  Give them handwriting worksheets, practice cursive, indepdenently read, even math worksheets. Kinder is way to young for ipad instruction.[/quote]
