Why Squiggle Park works for me.
"I am a part of a successful district with high performing students but I have a few in my class who were struggling with reading. I decided to
double the time these students played Squiggle Park and over the course of five weeks, they have been able to catch up to the strong readers. We are thrilled with this progress and love Squiggle Park."
How I integrate Squiggle Park into my teaching...
STEP 1:
The class is signed up in less than 5 minutes.
The Squiggle Park app is downloaded onto class iPads or bookmarked on computers.
Squiggle Park is added as a station in our station rotation for 30 minutes a week.
The students play independently and collaboratively building their reading skills as they play.
Engagement from Squiggle Park opens time for more small group and individual instruction.
STEP 2:
Data collected from game play is available to track each individual student progress as well as class progress.
Specific gaps are identified and lesson plans focused on those gaps are available.
Progress can be reviewed real-time anytime!
STEP 3:
Reporting gives a picture of the class progress to be used in school PD planning allowing administrators to invest in professional development that meets the specific needs of each teacher.
Ways data informs our instruction.
● Data shows trends of whole class and by individual student
● Understanding gaps helps narrow focus during a guided reading lesson
● Helps our teaching assistant get to know your students quickly
● Provides you with individual data for an IEP or parent conference
