Computer Programs

 

Title 1 uses two main computer programs daily.

 

Waterford

 

Waterford is used by students in Kindergarten through 3rd grade.  It is a self-paced program that we use to enhance our reading curriculum.  The students are able to listen to prerecorded books on the computer, as well as, record themselves reading and then play back their recordings.  There are also phonemic awareness, writing, and comprehension activities that students complete during their computer session.  Waterford also has hard copy books and student activities that we use to go with the computer program.

 

 

SuccessMaker

 

SuccessMaker is used in Title 1 by students in the 3rd through 5th grades.  Like Waterford, it is also a self-paced program that we use to enhance our reading and math curriculums.  SuccessMaker helps students with fluency and comprehension in reading and with TEKS skills in Math.
