/PRNewswire/ -- Voyager Sopris Learning™, provider of a
comprehensive suite of evidence-based interventions, assessments,
and professional services, announced today that the online version
of LANGUAGE!® with Focus on English Learning
(FOEL) and Everyday English Plus is now available for
purchase. LANGUAGE with FOEL is an intensive literacy
intervention that integrates reading, writing, spelling,
vocabulary, grammar, foundational skills, and spoken English to
raise the achievement of students, including newcomers to English,
in grades 4–12.
With this release, LANGUAGE! FOEL and
Everyday English Plus materials are available in an
interactive eBook platform. Major benefits of this platform are
that it enables literacy educators to:
- Teach LANGUAGE! FOEL and Everyday English Plus
digitally from any device
- Send notes and assign work to students
- Evaluate work and send immediate feedback to
students
- Increase opportunities for student self-monitoring
With the new eBooks, students are able to highlight, make notes,
and show their work. Additionally, they can submit assignments and
review feedback. Students can use analytics to see the time they
spend on assignments in text and percent complete.
Moving the content to a digital platform increases
implementation flexibility and supports school district technology
initiatives. LANGUAGE! provides an acceleration solution for
non-readers, struggling readers, and English language learners
utilizing mastery and skill based instruction. The Focus On
English Learning component provides additional research-based
strategies for English learners. Everyday English Plus
provides a primer to develop the skills of newcomers to the English
language prior to entering the LANGUAGE!
curriculum.
"Since supporting schools and districts in their technology
initiatives is one of our primary goals, digitizing
LANGUAGE! components increases options for connecting what
students know and like about digital tools and what educators know
about good teaching," says George
Logue, president of Voyager Sopris Learning. "The
LANGUAGE! FOEL eBook provides a wide array of innovative
tools that inspire and engage both students and teachers."
