Here you must select the appropriate language and level assessment you wish to take. The levels are roughly split up by grade, beginning with speaking comprehension and going through literacy. However, individual judgement by the teacher will provide the best fit for each student. For instance, if a first grade student is fluent in English, but only beginning to learn Spanish, it is best to test them on the 3rd level for English and 1st level for Spanish.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53cf413 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"53cf413\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1284\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.03.35-PM.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16818\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.03.35-PM.png 1284w, https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.03.35-PM-300x176.png 300w, https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.03.35-PM-768x450.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1284px) 100vw, 1284px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b62ffff elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b62ffff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">It\u2019s time to learn!<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bb05203 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"bb05203\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The core structure of the adventure modules remains the same.

For example, if your students started Little Sponges program in PreK and continued to use the program in kindergarten, you will see a score for Level 1 and Level 2 assessments. This allows you to see their progress over a long period of time.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The quizzes are grouped by language and skill. For example, you can look at scores in English only or in Spanish only or you can look at both.\u00a0 Likewise, you can look at the listening and comprehension scores as students start the program and then, analyze the reading and comprehension scores later when students advance through the program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the learning period (i.e. school year, summer program, etc) students take post-assessments.\u00a0 Once they complete the post-assessments, the scores are shown in the gradebook. This allows teachers, administrators and parents to see how much progress the student has made overtime. For example, if the student\u2019s pre-assessment score in English was 65% and their post-assessment score was 95%, he\/she made 46% improvement over the course of the school year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Formula: improvement = (post score-pre score)\/pre score = (95%-65%)\/65=46%<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the school year, students can see their overall progress for each Adventure module by clicking on the checkmark icon at the bottom of their map.\u00a0 They can see which topics they excel at and which they may need more practice in. If the student does not do well on the quiz, he\/she can go back to videos and games for more practice and retake the quiz.\u00a0 This way, they have the opportunity to work on their specific gaps in knowledge and prepare to do well on the post assessment.\u00a0 The goal is for each student to reach mastery level (100% score) in each learning adventure.\u00a0 The advantage of technology based instruction is that students can be exposed to the content and the language as much as necessary. Students should continue to practice in class, at home and on the go until they&#8217;ve had enough exposure and repetition to master the skills.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5bdde3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c5bdde3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1438\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.02.39-PM.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-16826\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.02.39-PM.png 1438w, https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.02.39-PM-300x92.png 300w, https:\/\/www.little-sponges.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Screen-Shot-2019-06-26-at-3.02.39-PM-768x236.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1438px) 100vw, 1438px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1b961dd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1b961dd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Upon signing up with the Little Sponges program, each student and teacher will be given log-in information.
