Study Island this summer!

Study Island is the ideal program that will focus on GLCE review and remediation this summer. Starting Study Island this time of year is important to allow teachers and students to become comfortable with Study Island before summer.

Offering some incentive for them to use Study Island, will help you help them prevent summer learning loss while reviewing and practicing for the MEAP until they return to school. When students return to school in September, teachers will then have the data to assess each student.


Please let me know if you would like further Study Island summer ideas or would like to meet for a brief Study Island presentation at your school.

I look forward to hearing from you!
