How does Study Island work?
Our Minnesota programs are completely web-based. Students simply log on to access the program. The program is organized into topics covering all of the Minnesota Academic Standards that are tested on the state-mandated  Minnesota Comprehensive Assessments - Series II (MCA-II)   in grades 2 through 8.  Also Algebra II EOC and High School product coming very soon!
 
Why does Study Island work?
  • Web-based, so students can use it at school or home and can study and learn at their own pace, and there is no software to download or install.
  • Dynamic content, with several thousand questions and each question is constantly changing.
  • Skills specific, with lessons and practice tests based solely on the Minnesota Academic Standards and specifically designed to prepare students for the MCA-II.
  • Better than workbooks, Study Island enables students to interact with thousands of questions, it instantly grades and records student work, and users are able to print custom workbooks.
  • Question style similar to the MCA-II, allowing students to get comfortable with the testing style, resulting in reduced test-taking mistakes and improved scores.
  • Self paced, because every student learns at a different pace.
  • Multiple study modes allow students to choose their style of learning.
  • Real-time reporting through a real time report card with statistics for each user session.

The Study Island Reading: R&R program is easy-to-use and designed to assist struggling readers, reluctant readers, avoidance readers, and English language learners by engaging them in the study of literature and  language. The primary aim of the R&R program is to allow students to revisit what reading means and to reconsider what they think literature can be. With multiple assessments, immediate feedback, and real-time reporting, the Study Island Reading: R&R intervention program helps drive differentiation and remediation in your classroom.

Many people throughout Minnesota have been using our Reading Intervention Series to INCREASE English Proficiency with English Language Learners and much, much more. Visit http://www.studyisland.com/intervention/ to learn more about our Reading Intervention Series.
