Program Description

Imagine Language & Literacy is a digital education program developed by Imagine Learning, targeting literacy skills for students in kindergarten through second grade. It offers individualized instruction in areas such as phonological awareness, phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, and grammar. The program adapts to each student's learning pace, providing interactive activities designed to enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

Student Population

The study encompassed students in kindergarten through second grade, capturing a diverse demographic across the participating schools. Detailed demographic information, including race/ethnicity and gender distribution, was collected to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the program's impact across different student groups. Demographics included African American, Hispanic, English Learners, and students that qualified for Free and Reduced Price Meals.

Current Evidence

The study employed a correlational design to examine the relationship between student program usage and academic achievement outcomes(https://www.imaginelearning.com/products/ela/language-and-literacy/) . The results are promising. In Kindergarten they found increased usage of the program was associated with higher scores in letter naming fluency. In Grade 1 they found a positive correlation was observed between program usage and nonsense word fluency, indicating improvements in decoding skills. In Grade 2 they found a higher program usage was linked to better oral reading fluency, reflecting enhanced reading proficiency.
