High-Frequency Word Fluency: Adaptive Sight Word Worksheets
For early-grade teachers who want to better monitor student progress in high-frequency-word fluency, Sara.ai Worksheets are printable, offline assignments that intelligently probe and document sight word fluency. Unlike static HFW lists and activities, graded Sara.ai Worksheets automatically update student profiles and make progress visible on a teacher dashboard.

Additionally, to provide emergent readers with a regular practice of fluent reading, adaptive-learning algorithms track students’ word fluency and populate individualized worksheets with sentences containing only two of fewer non-fluent words. These sentences are drawn from a growing library of sentences which contain primarily Fry sight words. This library is already over 100,000 words in length, providing endless, non-repetitive, and topically-broad assignments.

Sara.ai Worksheets also allow teachers to get parents involved with simple guidance to help students complete assignments at home, providing parents with the tools to grade assignments as well.

Revolutionizing Keyboarding Education
The Learning Lights Keyboard is the BIGGEST advancement in keyboarding education in over a decade! Come see our new show/hide computer keyboard designed by teachers, made for student touch type mastery and learn some new ideas for teaching keyboarding in the classroom.

KeyMaster's Learning Lights Keyboard is a fun and innovative way to encourage students to key by touch. The press of a button "hides" key lettering, taking away the temptation to look at one's fingers while typing. Restore full key visibility for everyday activities. Students will master their keyboarding technique faster and better with a KeyMaster keyboard!

Keyboarding skills are more important than ever with 77% of all careers requiring some level of computer proficiency. In today's tech driven world, advanced computer skills are essential in preparing students for the careers of tomorrow. Proficient touch typing frees up cognitive working memory, allowing learners to focus on advanced tasks such as coding, programming, and composing rather than the process of typing.

We hope that you find great success in educating young learners and that our products can enhance and accelerate your keyboarding programs.

Are Your Students Engaged?
Today’s blended and hybrid learning environments require a different approach to measuring student engagement. Utilizing data analytics as a tool to see how and when students are using their online resources allows districts to identify “best practice” application usage across classes, as well as monitor student-level daily engagements to identify at-risk needs for connectivity and instruction. Join our session to see how districts are putting analytics into action.
