	Little Sponges®	Typical Programs
comprehensible input	Provides authentic, multisensory input – lowers affective filter and increases proficiency	Early forced output, high affective filter, guesswork and error-prone practice
Thematic Curriculum	Exciting thematic units (Farm Adventure, Garden Adventure, etc) that teach language and content	Rote memorization of vocabulary and drills without context
Engaging Content	Real-life videos, songs, puppets and interactive games that keep students engaged.	Static worksheets or generic cartoons
Standards-Aligned Assessments	Built-in assessments aligned to ACTFL and WIDA/ELPS, included at no extra cost	Often no assessments, or sold separately—costs can equal the license price itself
Progress Data	Instant reports at the student, class, school, and district levels	Limited or siloed reporting, hard to use for instruction
Predictable pricing	One license = everything: curriculum, assessments, teaching and learning tools and reports	Base license only; extra fees for assessments, data, or supplemental materials
