• Traditional assessments and interactive games based on the state standards
  Study Island enables students to choose their style of learning. Students can work using a standard test format or interactive game format.
• State-specific lessons and questions with immediate feedback and automated instruction
  Upon answering a question incorrectly, students are shown the correct answer along with a detailed explanation of the correct response. When students need extra help on a specific topic, the Study Island program automatically prompts them to work on remedial-level material for that topic.
• Real-time progress reports to drive differentiation and instruction in your classroom
  The Study Island program records statistics for each user session in a real-time report card. These statistics measure progress, streamline the learning process and can be customized by student, subject, class, grade and school.
• Dynamic Content
  Not only are there thousands of practice items, but each item is constantly changing. The answers to the multiple-choice questions continuously change positions, and the numbers for the math questions are randomly chosen. Students are compelled to learn the concepts with a deeper understanding rather than just memorize the answers.
