Have your Students been using the BOOST App Yet?

Boost is a mobile app students can use to continue practicing their literacy skills outside intervention or at home. The app has several games students can play to practice skills ranging from phonological awareness to advanced phonics. Each game reinforces a specific early literacy skill. New games with more advanced skills are automatically unlocked as students progress and become more proficient in earlier skills.

Please watch this  short video for details on how to get started with Boost.  Your students and parents will love this addition!
