case study
Over 90% of ELLs Showed Growth in just 6 months
In Western Heights School District (OK), a very small percentage of students showed growth on the WIDA assessment.
After just six months of implementing the Little Sponges program, 90% of English Language Learners demonstrated measurable progress, with many advancing one to two proficiency bands.
Multilingual students even outperformed monolingual peers on state tests.
case study
111% Increase in Spanish Proficiency in 1 Year
Savannah-Chatham County Public School System (GA) piloted Little Sponges in two elementary schools. Before the program, teachers struggled to track progress and keep students engaged with meaningful Spanish practice.
Over the 2024–2025 school year, students demonstrated a 111% increase in Spanish proficiency, with strong engagement in class and at home.
Based on these results and teacher feedback, the district expanded Little Sponges to all elementary schools offering FLES or DLI.
