As many educators know, students often come into a classroom ranging below or above a certain grade level. Even the most experienced of teachers find this disparity challenging. Self-paced and differentiated learning can help strike a balance among student grade levels, but the question becomes what specific strategies will guarantee success?

On the first day back from summer break, a significant percentage of our students return to campus below grade-level in reading and math. As administrators and teachers, we know something has to change. While we can’t solve the dilemmas of society at large, we can address the systemic problems in school.

Now one of the fastest growing curriculum systems in the U.S., MobyMax has over 1,000 new teachers registering each day. What exactly does it do? “It finds and fixes missing skills in math, math fact fluency, language/grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing,” says Glynn Willett (pictured), co-founder of the innovative learning ecosystem. From one of the most advanced systems for teaching vocabulary to their writing module that automates the grading process, last year, students using the platform for 40 hours averaged more than a 1.4 grade level increase in math and language arts.
K-8 Cognitive Skills Science curriculum by MobyMax is based on transformative Touch Curriculum technology, which uses over 20,000 interactive manipulatives to engage students on a deeper level than traditional curriculum. Rather than simply reading textbook pages, Touch Curriculum gives students an immersive experience by dragging and dropping, repositioning, building, writing, creating, and more.

Personalized approach to Response to Intervention is intended to help curriculum be as effective as possible
Oak Heights Elementary School in Sweet Home, Ore., is using MobyMax to identify and fill the gaps in students’ skills as part of its Response to Intervention program.
MobyMax has released a new subject, Early Reading Trio, in its Touch Curriculum series for tablets.
Early reading is designed to engage students with words in three different ways across three different modules. In the first, Early Words, students learn sound-letter correspondences and the phonetic sounds they will encounter in the second module. Next, in Early Stories, students use the words they learned in the previous module to supply the correct choices in a series of sentences. In those first two modules, students practice with words until they reach fluency, which can be adjusted by a teacher. In Early Writing, the final module, students drag and drop words and pictures to create their own stories.
